Renewable energy is the future of our planet
We all use electrical power at some time, you're using it right now to see this. In fact 98% of people in the western world rely on electrical power for day to day living. Our problem for the future is twofold, number one is the ever increasing cost of oil and gas products will force the cost of traditional power generation ever higher, number two is the simple fact that these recources, however expensive they get, will run out... We have to build alternatives NOW for our future. Here at Chris Rudge Renewable Energy, we can help you to achieve an ideal solution.
April 2009 brings double financial rewards for generating green power
From April 2009, the Government has doubled the Renewable Obligation Certificate (ROC) allocation per Green megawatt generated. This has meant some electricity companies have passed this onto their green generating customers. Significantly, lead suppliers Good Energy and Scottish & Southern have just increased their scheme values.
Good Energy have increased their credit payments from 10p to 15p for every unit generated on the HomeGen scheme. An ideal plan for many domestic situations, as this 15p is paid to you whether you use the power or not. A double saving!
Scottish & Southern have increased to 28p a unit exported power. (website still to be updated). This only applies to the surplus power not being used by the house, and may be a good scheme if the house is empty during the day when the sun is doing its work.
Ecotricity have kept their generated unit cost at 12p, as their rate increase in February on the Renewable Rewards scheme took the recent ROC increase into account.
N Power pay 12p for every unit exported, so currently come bottom of the value list, but check out their website as this rate may change imminantly in response to the new ROC value.
See an excellent explanation of how ROC's work and ways to get the best price at Less-CO2.co.uk
Look out for news of April 2010, when the Government sponsored Feed-in tariff commences. The renewable energy industry anticipates a complete change in the way the grant system operates. The system will possibly operate on the same lines to Germany, etc, a high value (ie 35p a kWh), subsidised by the Government will be paid for exported power and bulk value grants (such as the current Low Carbon scheme) will possibly close.
Our basic installation costs.. They're hard to beat!
If your interested in obtaining some quotes for a Solar PV system, you will find our costs hard to beat. We really do try to keep our price structure honest and lean for the consumer. After seeing a few Solar PV companies quoting nearly £10 a wattP for small systems, we realised that it would be in everyones interest to publish package prices to give our customers guidance on costs.
We offer a 1kWp package price of £6000 or a 2kWp package price of £11,000 ... For more information and detail on the fully compliant systems, go to our SOLAR page.
