What is renewable energy?

Renewable energy comes from natural sources that are constantly replenished, such as the sun, wind or water. These sources don’t run out and using them helps to reduce our carbon emissions and our reliance on fossil fuels. Renewable technologies turn this natural energy into heat or electricity for your home.

Renewable energy

Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity you can use at home. Learn how solar panels work, the benefits of installing them and how we can help you make the switch to solar power.

Wind turbines

Wind turbines use the power of moving air to create electricity. Find out how they work, the installation benefits, and how we can help you transition to wind power.

Micro combined heat and power

Micro combined heat and power (often called micro CHP) is a technology that creates heat and electricity at the same time from a single energy source in individual homes or buildings. Learn more about micro CHP by visiting Energy Saving Trust's website.

Heat pumps

Heat pumps (air source, ground source or water source) provide heating and hot water for your home. These modern, low-carbon heating systems are much more energy efficient than boilers and electric heating. Discover more about how heat pumps work, how to install them and the benefits of installing them at home.
