We are now in a stronger position to meet those demands and their CO2 emission targets, assisting them reduce costs without affecting productivity. We’ve a strong team in place to capitalise on the reputation we’ve already established and now as the commercial solar arm of Effective Energy, this will open further national opportunities and provide us with broader corporate resource for growth.”
