Nationalised energy companies and energy storage partnered with renewables at all scales holds the key to transforming Britain's energy supply, according to Public Power Solutions’ James Owen.

The Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Amber Rudd has described energy efficiency as “the most effective way to reduce carbon and reduce bills – it is the win-win”.

The Renewable Energy Association (REA) is calling on the government to deliver a “coherent national strategy” for the future of the grid in the UK.

The government will no longer provide any further funding to the Green Deal Finance Company, stopping any new Green Deal Loans and Green Deal Home Improvement funds.

The majority of the £70 million of savings the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) was ordered to find by Chancellor George Osborne will be sourced from cuts to energy efficiency subsidies, the department’s annual report has revealed.

Over 200 businesses have joined together to call on the government to reverse its shock decision to effectively scrap the zero carbon homes policy.

To mark the launch of a crowdfunding drive, British residential energy storage company Moixa Technology hosted “The potential for UK storage and grid aggregation”, a series of presentations and a panel discussion with experts on topics including EV charging and the Internet of Things.

Birmingham Airport and Liverpool’s John Lennon Airport have both installed new electric vehicle chargers onsite.

UK energy storage manufacturer, Moixa Technology is attempting to raise £875,000 through a crowdfunding campaign.
