U.K. Government Awards Solar Panel Contracts to Brother of Top Civil Servant

The U.K. government allocated over £70,000 for installing solar panels on schools, with the contracts going to Amelio Enterprises, owned by Jeremy Pocklingtons brother. The deal was made through an open bidding process and was announced by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. Jeremy Pocklington, who served as permanent secretary at the energy department, listed his brothers role on his interests register and stepped back from direct dealings. Amelio was later acquired by Good Energy Group, led by Nigel Pocklington. The company maintains everything was fair and above board, aiming to slash energy costs and redirect savings to classrooms and patient care.
