Microgeneration set to Receive a Boost

LONDON, May 25, 2010 - Microgeneration (
www.britishgas.co.uk/energy-efficiency/renewable-energy.html) is the
generation of zero or low carbon heat and power by individuals, small
businesses and communities to meet their own needs. This essentially means
creating your own energy to power your house (
www.britishgas.co.uk/products-and-services/energy.html) by means
of a renewable energy source such as solar panels or wind turbines. This
process will help homes to become greener and contribute to a safer and
healthier future for us all.

Microgeneration is also set to receive a massive boost thanks to the
introduction of the Government's Clean Energy Cashback, also known as the
Feed-In-Tariff, an initiative that launched on the 1st of April this year.
This tariff offers to pay householders for all the electricity that they
generate from a renewable source making Microgeneration an even more
effective money saving option.

Please visit Clean Energy Cash Back (FIT) Scheme (

At British Gas we are committed to making the switch to Microgeneration
as seamless as possible. All our customers need to do is call us up to find
