Councillor David Mellen, the Leader of Nottingham City Council, said: “We very much regret the past failings in the Council’s governance of Robin Hood Energy. We accept the findings of this report which, despite our best intentions, reveal failures in the Council’s governance of Robin Hood Energy over the several years following the formation of the company.
“The report makes a number of recommendations to review our current practice of company governance which we are fully committed to carrying out. Some of the recommendations have already started to be put into place while a review of future options for RHE will be completed shortly.
“There is much more to do however, and the council is working hard to try to protect as much of its investment in the company as possible.”
