Green Deal Overview

In October 2012 the Governments new flagship programme called Green Deal will replace a variety of existing schemes (CESP, CERT amongst many others) to reduce energy usage and transform our economy to a low carbon economy. The Green Deal will replace existing programmes with an enhanced integrated one which it is hoped will transform the UK economy by reducing our carbon usage by 80% by 2050.

Green Deal Golden Rule

To achieve that the Green Deal will generate a low carbon economy, linking energy conservation to homes and business need. The Golden Rule is that all improvements to domestic or commerical premises under Green Deal will be limited to equivalent saving the improvement will make. With the  average home estimated requiring £25,000 invested to bring it up to the standard, that will mean the potential investment will be limited to this figure to reduce energy use and for improvements to domestic dwellings.

Green Deal Domestic Funding

Green Deal will provide homes and business with a new source of funding linked to the buildings need.  In 2009 UK homes accounted for 28% of UK energy usage and with over 80% of them envisaged to be still in use by 2050 there is a need to actively reduce their energy consumption. With utility bills estimated to increase by 60% by 2020 the financial impact of not reducing costs will be considerable.

Green Deal Solar

For those who have reduced energy consumption, by installing insulation (both cavity wall and loft), double glazing and modernised their boiler then will then be an opportunity to improve their energy generation using Green Deal funding to install solar panels and other green technologies such as air and ground heat exchangers in domestic and commercial improvements.

Sanyo Solar Panels

Sanyo solar panels become Panasonic solar panel in April 2012.

The change of name, is part of  a repositioning of the brand is part of a wider scheme of consolidation of brands being carried out by the Panasonic group and is very timely in response to tighter FIT payments brought in from December 12, 2011.

The plan allows the corporation to take advantage of the strengths of each company within the group. Combining SANYO’s solar technical capabilities with Panasonic’s wide global network will allow further synergy to be generated within the group and strengthen the solar business globally.

Mr Shigeki Komatsu, Director of the Solar Division of SANYO Component Europe GmbH, commented, “The brand change is part of the global strategy aimed at expanding the solar business of the Panasonic Group.” “The current manufacturing operations and sales structure will continue under the Panasonic Group. The Group will continue to invest in the solar bus\ainess, allowing us to offer a higher level of service to our business partners and provide our customers with higher quality, more efficient modules,”

“This name change is excellent news for Absolute Solar customer”, says Dean Bliss. “Sanyo panels provide an outstanding efficiency rating of 19% providing excellent solar energy conversion compared to other panels, so the name change and subsequent price reduction without any loss of performance will provide customers with another excellent competitive product alongside our other panel suppliers” Comments Dean Bliss of Absolute Solar

North leads the way on installing renewable technology.

Sheffield and other northern cities are leading the way in renewable energy since the introduction of feed-in tariffs to pay for power generated by households. The return on investment of between 7% to 12% from a guaranteed income stream, as well as free electricity is driving demand from home improvement.

Sheffield and Leads Leading the Way

Nearly 2 megawatts of capacity have been added in Sheffield in the last 15 months and Leeds comes second in the league table, with more than 1MW of capacity added. A long way down cities such as Bristol, Bradford and Birmingham are also seeing increases in renewable energy installations per person.

London
With more renewables installed London at more than 3.2 megawatts of capacity added in the 15 months since feed-in tariffs became available, is the largest growth of renewables, but per head, it comes only sixth in the UK.

Sheffield Council
The local council has driven demand by the local council to encourage the take-up of renewable power, and in particular by plans to give people living in social housing access to the technology. Growth in capacity in microgeneration is about 400% since the feed-in tariff was launched in April 2010. Solar panels (photovoltaics) are leading that growth, with an increase in generating capacity of about 900%

Npower make it 5 out of 6 raising utility prices
npower’s 6.5 million customers join the millions of Britons facing higher energy bills after npower became the fifth of the “big six” providers to raise gas and electricity prices.

This will mean an average energy bill up by £134 to £1,188 a year for npower’s 6.5 million UK customers.

Npower follows Scottish Power, British Gas, Scottish & Southern Energy and E.ON in announcing price hikes, blaming wholesale price increases. Only EDF of the big six, who provide 99% of the UK energy system have not raised its prices.

Average tariff increases have been between 10% and 19% on gas and electricity.
