RENEWABLE ENERGY
With rising energy prices and increased awareness about issues relating to climate change more and more people are considering generating their own energy.
The Low Carbon Buildings Programme offers grants for renewable technologies such as solar hot water systems and wind turbines. The grants are available to householders, community organisations, schools and private businesses. For further information please contact the Low Carbon Buildings Programme on 0800 915 0990.
If you are planning on installing a renewable technology in your home ensure that you contact the Low Carbon Buildings Programme first. They can provide a list of approved installers. Grants are not normally paid retrospectively.
