UK will miss its 2020 renewable energy targets, warn MPs.

13 September 2016

This includes a target to generate 30% of electricity from wind, solar and other low-carbon sources by the end of the decade, and to generate 12% of heating energy and 10% of transport fuels from clean sources by the same date. The UK is not legally bound to meet the heat target, which is advisory.

Heating and transport fuels are particular problems because there are few options available other than fossil fuels. For instance, ground source heat pumps are difficult to install, biomass heating can produce soot particles, and biofuels – made from plants – are controversial as they can contribute to deforestation if not closely managed.

You could fill this gap in the market by offering to install different kinds of renewable energy sources. Such as solar PV, Electric car charging stations & domestic wind turbine courses. If you have a group of 6 or more people we can offer you a tailored course.

If you are interested in theses renewable courses or any of our other courses, please call 0115 8228 645 or email Info@traininginelectrical.co.uk
