It seems Britain is fast developing something of a love-affair with Solar Farms – those large, utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) installations that can generate 5 or 10 MW of electricity. There are some 18 schemes capable of generating 5MW or more in Wales alone, with a further 34 under construction or [...]
As the UK is surrounded by miles of coastline and either seas or oceans, it has easy access to wave power and tidal energy. The coastline extends for over 11 000 miles and the tidal ranges are some of the greatest seen anywhere in the world. The difference in sea [...]
You can make your home more energy efficient in many different ways from smaller jobs like switching to energy saving light bulbs to bigger jobs such as double-glazing, an energy efficient boiler or insulation. These larger projects will save you more energy – and money - in the long run, [...]
Switching to a green energy tariff - be that a green option offered by one of the main six energy companies or energy through a specialist green energy company – is something we’re being encouraged to do now that it’s up to us to combat climate change. But how green [...]
As our fossil fuel reserves continue to deplete the race is on to find alternative methods of energy generation to ensure that we continue to have a ready supply of energy. Nuclear power is the most controversial solution to our energy problems that has been proposed. It’s also probably the [...]
Another consideration to take into account as well as becoming more energy efficient at home is choosing an eco-friendly energy company. As awareness of green issue increases several single issues green energy companies have entered the fiercely competitive energy market. What are Green Energy Companies? Green energy companies offer electricity [...]
Generating your own energy at home is a great way to save money on your energy bills and reduce your dependency on non-renewable forms of electricity. One form of renewable energy for people to harness at home is energy from the sun – through a solar panel. Developments in renewable [...]
The chief contributor to climate change is carbon emissions from fossil fuels. However with those finite fuel sources running out considering new forms of energy won’t just be good for the environment, it will be absolutely vital in years to come. For now, a commitment to renewable energy is on [...]
It’s the latest in green fashion good for the environment and even David Cameron’s house is sporting one – a home wind turbine. Amid growing awareness that our fossil fuels are running out, CO2 emissions are rising and so too are our energy bills, more and more people are taking [...]
Renewable energy is increasingly seen as one possible antidote to the energy crisis. Whereas our coal oil and gas supplies are ever dwindling renewable sources such as wind are continuously available. The UK is embracing the potential of wind energy and wind farms. The world's largest offshore wind farm has [...]
Reducing the amount of energy we use in the home is important but so too is knowing where the energy comes from. Choosing the right energy tariff is becoming another matter to take into consideration if you want to become more environmentally aware. As a result of growing concern over [...]
