Here is a guide to some of the possible funding available towards micro-renewable energy installations.

The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) is an independent scheme designed to certify microgeneration products and installers in accordance with consistent standards. It is designed to evaluate microgeneration products and installers against robust criteria providing greater protection for consumers. The MCS is the only certification scheme to cover all microgeneration products and services, and has support from the Department of Energy and Climate Change, industry and non-governmental groups as a prime method for making a substantial contrubiton to cutting the UK’s dependency on fossil fuels and carbon dioxide emissions.

Nugenn is an accredited MCS “installer” and the majority of renewable energy systems distributed by the company are accredited products which means that Nugenn customers can claim grant funding towards the installation of ground and air source heat pumps, solar water heating and biomass fuelled boiler systems.

Nugenn partners with Scottish & Southern Energy to deliver CERT funding towards ground source heat pumps. CERT is money which the Utility company are obliged, by the Government, to make available for energy saving measures and the installation of energy saving products. The amount of funding available for customers varies, depending upon the size of property, fossil fuel being displaced and the personal circumstances of the end customer. As an example, a ground source heat pump installed in a 3 bed house displacing oil will attract £1500 of CERT funding. At the other end of the scale, if coal is displaced and the householder is in a priority group, the funding could be as much as £9000.
