Whatis renewable energy?
Generate your own energy Renewable energy technologies like solar panels, wind turbines and biomass heaters offer an alternative to fossil fuels and can help reduce your homes CO2 emissions. There are financial benefits too. As well as producing your own energy you can make money from the electricity generated by your renewable technology installation as a result of the introduction of Feed in tariffs in April 2010 and the introduction of the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) from 2011/12 The Energy Savings Trust gives lots of advice about how to save energy. You can download their fact sheets on the different types of renewable energies. For more information contact the Energy Saving Trust on 0800 512012 or visit their website www.est.org.uk.
