Enigin News - Use of Energy Saving Technology Encouraged

ENERGY SAVING technology is to be incentivised in the UK after the government revealed that local councils are to be allowed to sell renewable energy to the National Grid.

The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has revealed that the ban on local authorities selling excess power from solar and wind technology is being lifted as of August 18th 2010.

This move has been taken to encourage councils to invest more in energy-saving improvements and renewables, as only 0.01 per cent of electricity in England is currently generated by local authority-owned renewable sources.

Woking Borough Council, in southern England, is expected to be among the major beneficiaries of the scheme, as the authority is a national leader in clean energy investments.

The UK’s Energy and Climate Change secretary Chris Huhne said: "This is a vital step to making community renewable projects commercially viable, to bring in long-term income to benefit local areas and to secure local acceptance for low carbon energy."
