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.
A prominent UK builders merchant installed solar PV over several of its depots and buildings, totalling 512kWp of capacity. However, the installed systems failed to live up to their predicted output, leaving the system owner searching for answers.
Around £320 billion of investment is needed every year till 2030 to secure the transition to sustainable energy and to keep below a 2°C rise in global temperatures, according to Adnan Amin, director general of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
Information security partner, MWR InfoSecurity has announced it is to receive a multi-million pound investment from the European capital venture investor, the Environmental Technologies Fund.
