Cities and local authorities could provide a cleaner, cheaper alternative to the Big Six by generating their own energy, according to a new report from the think tank IPPR.
Energy and climate change secretary Ed Davey has announced a £20 million energy efficiency scheme designed to help commercial entities reduce energy bills by improving energy efficiency and reducing energy demand.
The government has revealed that 1,000 installations have been accredited under the domestic renewable heat incentive (RHI) during the scheme's first seven weeks.
Criticism of the way the government represents support for renewables compared to other energy technologies in the UK “could have a point”, according to Greg Barker, minister for climate change.
