Government Minister sets out strategy to tackle climate change

Gregg Barker, the Climate Change Minister, today launched the first stage of the Government's plan to help communities to invest in Renewable Energy technologies.

Many homes and businesses have already taken advantage of these small-scale renewable energy installations and the recently introduced Feed-in Tariffs.  Today's press release confirmed the Government's backing to encouraging more communities and businesses to generate their own energy.

The focus of the Government's plan is on Quality, Technology, Skills and Advice.  Here at PPL we provide training on all of the microgeneration technologies that the Government are focusing on, including, Ground and Air Source Heat Pumps, Solar Photovoltaics (PV) and Solar Thermal Hot Water.  We also provide complete and thorough guidance on how to become accredited through the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) through our MCS Quality Assurance course.

James Booth, Managing Director of PPL, welcomed the new strategy released today, commenting, "this is a very positive step forward from our new Government and assures businesses and communities of their determination and focus to make Climate Change a high priority."
