PBB Aquathlon Series nets green energy sponsor
The 2012 Aquathlon Series which starts this month will have a brand new sponsor following an agreement between the organisers and South West based renewable energy company, REG Windpower.
Commenting on the sponsorship Sergio Zappulo from REG Windpower said:
“We have seen major triathlon events take place in the park before and we are pleased to be supporting this series and hope that this will attract further events when people see the success of the Parc Bryn Bach Aquathlon Series. As a clean, green, UK-based energy company it is a natural match for us to link with an event that celebrates human achievement in the great outdoors and Parc Bryn Bach is a fantastic setting”.
Kelly Gaffney from Newport and East Wales Triathlon Club said:
“We are delighted with the sponsorship agreement which will allow our event to go from strength to strength. Our hope is that even more people will look to enter the events at the park”.
REG Windpower is currently preparing a planning application for a three-turbine wind farm at Pen Bryn Oer which would generate enough energy to power approximately 2,300 homes. This application is expected to be submitted later this year. Sergio added “it is very important to me that we are a good neighbour for the local community and this is a great first step”.
REG Windpower will also besponsoring the Pike Bait Triathlon Festival on 30th June this year.
