The Young Farmers' Club of Ulster (YFCU) today unveiled leading Northern Ireland wind energy company Simple Power as the overall sponsor of its Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Conference this year.
The event takes place on 21st April 2012 at Armagh City Hotel and will be attended by young farmers from across Northern Ireland. Simple Power, which develops single wind turbines that feed directly into the electricity grid, will be attending the AGM and Conference and its team will be providing information to young farmers interested in learning more about renewable energy.
Paul Carson, CEO of Simple Power, who was also a very active member of the YFCU in his youth, said: "I'm delighted to be supporting the Young Farmers' Club of Ulster as it hosts one of the largest gatherings in its busy calendar of events. The AGM really showcases the passion and talent of YFCU members and clubs in rural communities across Northern Ireland. We see this as the beginning of a partnership where YFCU members have the opportunity to learn about the role of wind energy in providing clean, safe and affordable energy for future generations and to hear how it benefits the rural economy and rural life in general."
William Wilson, YFCU President added: "We are very pleased to have the support of Simple Power at our AGM and Conference. There is a growing interest from our members in the area of renewable energy and we look forward to learning more about the role of medium wind power and how it can help meet the electricity needs of our homes and businesses in the future."
