What is Microgeneration?

Microgeneration is the generation of electricity and/or heat by individual domestic properties, small commercial operations and communities for the provision of their own electricity and/or heat requirements. The technology used in Microgeneration includes a range of certified products that fall within the Low Carbon Building Programme directive from the Government. Microgeneration technologies which our electricians install include:

• Photovoltaic Solar Power
• Solar Thermal
• Air Source Heat Pumps
• Small Scale Hydro Electric

Microgeneration Technologies are part of the growth in new types of Energy Saving Electrical Installations including Smart Meters and Micro Combined Heat & Power (MCHP). The growth is also due to the variety of Energy Saving Legislation in place and the Carbon Reduction Commitment.

You can receive assistance with the installation cost of Microgeneration Technologies through the following:

• Energy Saving Grants
• Carbon Trust Loans
• Enhanced Capital Allowance

Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS)

Given that Microgeneration technology is a new development the Government have implemented measures to ensure consistency across the market. As a result the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) has been set up to certify the relevant microgeneration products and installers including electricians. The MCS Scheme assesses the microgeneration products and installers, including electricians with strict guidelines to provide superior consumer protection. Mr Electric electricians can install Microgeneration certified products, request an energy saving installation.

The Microgeneration Certification Scheme at present is the only certification of its kind that covers all the microgeneration products and services. The Department of Energy and Climate Change and relevant stakeholders groups, such as electricians are all behind the MCS Scheme. Microgeneration is considered as the best present and future contributor for sustainability and for cutting our countries dependency on fossil fuels. Our electricians will confirm the installation options available for Microgeneration and for the overall reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.
