After five years of relentless campaigning by the Micropower Council, a major step forward for the Microgeneration sector took place on the 4th November as The Green Energy Bill yesterday cleared all its Parliamentary stages.The term 'Microgeneration' is broadly defined as 'a range of technologies that domestic users can use to produce heat or power from renewable or low carbon sources' - the next step forward for householders concerned to take energy efficiency measures beyond basic home insulation.The Bill will require the government to conduct a detailed overhaul of Microgeneration policy in the UK, as well as allowing air source heat pumps (and small micro-wind turbines) to be installed in the majority of domestic dwellings without planning permission.AbleSkills has been an active participant in supporting the Government initiative and leading the way for Green Energy training. Knowledge learning and practical training in energy assessment and solar energy courses, installation of renewable technology appliances such as ground source heat pumps can all be undertaken at their new extended and dedicated training environments.Key points of the Green Bill :
