UK Social housing to be provided with green energy

According to the Press association.

"Over 20 local authorities nationwide are in talks with the country’s biggest power supplier about plans to provide social housing tenants with ways of generating their own free energy supplies.

British Gas will begin a microgeneration installation programme next year to provide social housing and other public sectors, with green energy technology such as solar panels, ground source heat pumps and household wind turbines."


Its great idea, but lets hope it does not add more to our bills then it saves, as British Gas/the localauthorities always seem to get their money off us, and when you see the price of a wind turbine you can fit to your house/shed at B&Q you wonder if you can every make your money back, ok its about saving the environment, but everyone needs to be doing it, and the cost of setting up such systems most be affordable to all.
