Good news. As spotted by Tom N, the LCBP Stream 2 is back up and running with £35m of new funds (and a hefty backlog of PV, GSHP, and solar thermal projects that weren’t processed before the money ran out the last time). One lovely feature: the cap for heat technology has gone from 45kW [...]

the missing team member – comment from an ESCO

As Phil Clark pointed out in a comment on my last post, there’s a very good piece in Building on the disappearance of ESCOs. This is a subject near to my heart as I’m part of Fontenergy, an independent ESCO.
feed-in-tariffs could emulate European PV success – but at what price?
Posted in climate change, feed in tariff, sustainability, utilities, tagged Proven Energy, PV, quietrevolution on March 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
A bunch of green bloggers got together last week after EcoBuild and as the pints slid down, the conversation got increasingly nerdtastic. It got so bad that drunken consultants were pulling out their laptops (never a good idea in the pub) and gesturing wildly at powerpoint slides as they slurred and babbled incoherently. Not naming [...]
climate change and energy bills pass – now what?

The mighty triumvirate has received royal assent: the climate change bill (excellent), the energy bill (excellent), and the planning bill (frightening) have now become acts. So now the UK is legally bound to reduce emissions by 80% by 2050 with interim targets along the way. Within a year we’ll see feed in tariffs for distributed [...]
more feed-in-tariff changes to Energy Bill
Posted in energy, feed in tariff, micro chp, other stuff, renewable energy, uncategorized, utilities, tagged Energy Bill, FiT on November 16, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
There have been further amendments to the Energy Bill in the Lords in connection with feed-in-tariffs. The one year implementation deadline is back in. Excellent news as the detail of how FiTs are implemented will almost inevitably be bogged down in long discussions between government and power suppliers – a one year limit should focus [...]
gov’t response on renewable heat and feed in tariffs

Last night, Lord Hunt came back with his amendments to the Energy Bill and, as promised, here’s an update. For electricity feed in tariff, he’s proposed: Feed in tariff for renewable generation up to a maximum of 3MW (excellent). Qualifying technology: biomass, biofuels (oh dear), fuel cells, photovoltaics, water (including waves and tides), wind, solar [...]
feed in tariffs – what just happened?
Posted in chp, climate change, energy, feed in tariff, micro chp, renewable energy, sustainability, wind turbines, tagged Ed Miliband, Energy Bill, Lord Hunt of Kings Heath, Lord Whitty on October 23, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Away from the fanfare around Ed Miliband’s announcement that a feed in tariff (FiT) is on the way, the Lords have been debating an amendment to the Energy Bill that has the support of Conservatives, Lib Dems, and even some Labour peers. What’s in the amendment? It says the Secretary of State has one year [...]
