Generating your own electricity in the UK

Households and communities which contribute electricity to the National Grid will receive payments from April 2010 under a new government scheme.  You can read more here. There is no report yet indicating what the payments will be, but hopefully they will be priced sensibly to encourage more people to get involved.

The Energy Saving Trust now have a useful tool showing predicted wind speeds for your postcode, and whether a wind turbine would be viable. This tool can be found here.

    Man, I wish they would do this here in the states. Let’s hope they start something like that here.
