Overview
As part of its target to reduce CO2 emissions by 60% before 2050 the Government has set a target of 10% of electricity supply being sourced from renewable energy by 2010. In 2004 only 3.6% came from renewables and 4.2% in 2005!
The UK has 40% of Europe's total wind energy but only 0.6% of our electricity requirements are generated by wind.
With energy prices increasing by as much as 20% per year and with the trend likely to carry on the need to stabilise energy costs is becoming increasingly important to most of us whether at home or in business.
