Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill

I agree absolutely. One of the advantages of micro-generation is that as well as contributing to the country’s energy needs, it can help to tackle fuel poverty. If houses can produce their own energy and make maximum use of energy efficiency and energy conservation devices, people on low incomes will gain more from that. Particularly in rural areas, where houses are not linked to the grid, micro-generation has a real part to play—although that also applies to the larger urban areas, of course.
