With the rising costs of conventional power and the realisation that CO2 levels must be stabilised, many householders are wondering if there is a role in their own homes for renewable energy and how easy it is to convert to sustainable sources.
The Severn Wye Energy Agency has been set up to provide advice and assistance to local householders and is in partnership with South Glos. Council in a new scheme, SG Futurenergy, offering the possibliity of substantial grants towards renewable energy installations. The project managers are all well versed in the various sustainable products, the grants available and the practical aspects of installation. A one-stop shop for expert advice.
