Our energy challenge: power from the people. Microgeneration strategy

URN No: 06/993

The objective of Government's Microgeneration strategy is to create conditions under which microgeneration becomes a realistic alternative or supplementary energy generation source for the householder, for the community and for small businesses.

The strategy was preceded in summer 2005 by a consultation on the strategy for the promotion of microgeneration and the Low Carbon Buildings programme.
