Northern Ireland Boost for Solar
Solarcentury has warmly welcomed proposals from the Northern Ireland Office to require solar and other micro renewables in all new buildings from 2008.
The proposals published by Peter Hain, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, would require all new homes, commercial and public sector buildings to include on site renewable energy generation from April 2008. Read the official release.
Chief Executive Jeremy Leggett said, "Not for the first time, Peter Hain is demonstrating real political leadership on climate change issues. This practical proposal contrasts favourably with some of the timid commentary on low carbon development in the Government's recently published Energy Review. Where Northern Ireland leads, the UK must now surely follow."
