Small scale renewable energy grants worth some £25m have now been claimed from the Low Carbon Buildings Programme (LCBP), it was revealed this week. The news came as Energy Minister Malcolm Wicks called for more homes and business to follow his lead by adopting a 'go green' new year's resolution.
His call comes as more and more homes, schools and businesses have been helped with Government grants to install technologies such as solar panels, biomass boilers and ground-source heat pumps.
Grants claimed under BERR's Low Carbon Buildings Programme since it launched in April 2006 are up to approximately £25m:
* £7.5m to help 4,600 households generate their own clean and green energy.
* £18m for a total of 739 projects on school, community, housing association and business buildings.
