Experts predict record year for UK renewables

More homeowners to consider systems

With increasing concern for the environment coupled with rapidly rising utility bills, renewable energy systems for homes have grown in popularity in recent years. Experts believe that 2009 will see a record number of people in the UK turning to systems such as solar panels and rainwater harvesting, whilst the economic downturn compounds people’s concerns over the rising cost of energy.

The cost of powering Britain’s homes and businesses reached a record high in 2008 and amid concerns over energy security and the global economic downturn experts predict, after measly cuts, they will rise again during 2009. These concerns will drive more and more homeowners to consider renewable energy systems according to Andrew Moore, Managing Director of BritishEco.com, who believes that domestic renewables will come of age this year.

He says:‘Times are tough for everyone and homeowners up and down the country are counting the increasing cost of energy. With bills at an all-time high, renewable energy systems are more appealing than ever before as homeowners consider long-term savings in light of the credit crunch. The technology has come a long way and domestic renewable systems are now a viable alternative to mains power. Rising utility bills mean that these systems have much quicker payback periods so homeowners can quickly benefit from significant savings of anything up to 70% to their yearly energy costs.

“With financial worries meeting an ever-increasing concern for our environment in 2009 we believe Britain will see an unprecedented adoption of systems from solar PV to ground source heat pumps and rainwater harvesting systems.”

BritishEco.com is one of the UK’s largest providers of renewable energy systems. The company is dedicated to providing honest, independent and unbiased advice, helping homeowners to find and install the right system to suit their needs, covering everything from solar panels to rainwater harvesting systems.

Renewable Energy Grants & Funding

STOP PRESS: 50% Government Grants for Schools, Charities and the Public Sector...

Schools, hospitals and the non-profit sector are all eligible for a 50% grant for renewable energy. The scheme ends in June 2009, leaving applicants only a few months to apply! Yet most schools and hospitals still do not know about the funding!... Contact us for details.

Is your local school an 'Eco-School'??

Putting a wind turbine in the schoolyard will reduce the energy bills and help the environment. A large wind turbine can save and generate £7000-8000 worth of electricity per year; it's economical and environmentally friendly. With the grant, a wind turbine will pay for itself in just 3-4 years! And from then on, it will generate free, clean energy, as well as inspiring the students and demonstrating that renewable energy works...


* Calling all Farmers and Landowners in the South East *

The South East England Development Agency are offering a grant of 40-50% for renewable energy for farmers and landowners! Call us on 0845 257 0041 to find out more and check if your postcode is eligible. Putting up a large wind turbine in a rural, windy area can generate enough electricity for your farm & to sell it back to the grid - to "farm wind".


Can your business save money with Renewable Energy?

The government are offering tax credits when you buy renewable energy equipment such as Solar Thermal, known as "Enhanced Capital Allowances". This allows you to offset the cost of going green by lowering your corporate tax bill. Renewable energy can lower your energy bills during this turbulent time, as well as giving your business the "green edge".

What's more, the Carbon Trust offer an interest-free loan of up to £200,000 for small & medium-sized businesses to buy renewable energy equipment. Instead of investing in shares, why not invest in renewable energy which will give you a guaranteed return by lowering your overheads? Energy bills continue to rise, so renewable energy will continue to become more beneficial for your business. Ask for details - we are a recognised supplier of the interest-free loans with the Carbon Trust.

Invest in the future- Renewables will make long-term savings, as well as protecting our planet for future generations.

Grants in Your Area:

Other Grants are available depending on your location and circumstances. The Low Carbon Buildings Grants are still running for homeowners until 2010. We can advise on the best value eco-options for your own situation.

Just call on 0845 257 0041 to speak to an advisor who will be happy to help you go green.

There has never been a better time for businesses to adopt renewable energy.

Experts predict a record number of businesses will switch on to renewable energy in 2009.

With the economic downturn providing a gloomy start to 2009, businesses all over the country are facing uncertainty and increasingly looking at cutting costs. With energy prices at an all-time high, utilities are prominent in many companies’ thinking and experts believe that this, coupled with growing environmental concern, will see more and more businesses switching on to renewable energy this year.

For businesses who are already feeling the pinch the promise of further increases to utility bills alongside growing concern over energy security mean that many are considering implementing renewable energy systems to reduce operating costs. Andrew Moore, Managing Director of BritishEco.com (www.britisheco.com) believes that renewable energy can provide a cost effective and environmentally protective solution for businesses. He explains:

‘Interestingly, whilst environmental concerns are high on many businesses’ agendas, it is the cost factor that is really driving interest in renewable energy systems. The rising cost of energy has begun to take its toll on the bottom line, leading many companies to consider alternatives in an effort to cut their running costs. Renewable technology has come a long way in recent years and whilst a few years ago businesses couldn’t imagine their offices or factories being powered by a renewable system, today the systems are accessible and reliable, transforming them into viable alternatives that have become increasingly attractive during these challenging times.

With an increased interest in environmental issues the technologies also have the added advantage in that they are environmentally protective as well, boosting the company’s eco-credentials and helping them to stay ahead of legislation which will inevitably come into force as part of the government’s energy targets.’

Expensive energy costs mean that the average payback periods have been massively reduced and businesses can see a quick return on their investment in the form of energy savings. The increasing availability of finance and government grants towards the cost of installing such systems is also sure to attract attention from businesses. There are also tax incentives such as Enhanced Capital Allowances (ECA) which apply to renewable technologies including solar thermal, heat pumps and rainwater harvesting systems. These incentives mean that businesses can write off the whole of the capital cost of their investment in these technologies against their taxable profits of the period during which they make the investment; an attractive prospect especially during the current economic crisis.
