Microgeneration Explained

Microgeneration is the generation of zero or low carbon heat and power by individuals, small businesses and communities to meet their own needs. This essentially means creating your own energy to power your house by means of a renewable energy source such as solar panels or wind turbines. This process will help homes to become greener and contribute to a safer and healthier future for us all.

Microgeneration is also set to receive a massive boost thanks to the introduction of the Government’s Clean Energy Cashback, also known as the Feed-In-Tariff, an initiative that launched on the 1st of April this year. This tariff offers to pay householders for all the electricity that they generate from a renewable source making Microgeneration an even more effective money saving option.

Please visit Clean Energy Cash Back (FIT) Scheme to find out more.

At British Gas we are committed to making the switch to Microgeneration as seamless as possible. All our customers need to do is call us up to find out more and we will talk them through the range of renewable energy systems on offer. Customers will then be assigned a personal Account Manager who will carry out an energy survey and recommend the best possible option for their home. The British Gas Account Manager will also be on hand to oversee the actual installation and answer any questions about the new system.

    Hi,
    My name is John I am a student at Dublin institute of technology and I am fascinated with micro-generation and sustainable energy systems as this is going to be the new money spinner as oil and gas are goi g to be to expensive. Would you have any information on gas powered boiler/electrical generator? I read something a couple of weeks ago about this, is it a practical devise with low maintenance and good return on investment?
    Would be greatful for any insights.
    Kind regards,
    John Sheelan
