Renewable Energy - It's Only Natural

The DTI's Renewables website provides information about renewable energy and the different renewable energy technologies, the UK Government policy and the Renewables Obligation, UK planning policy and planning processes, and the various financial support programmes including investing in renewables technologies. There is also information on the work of the Renewables Advisory Board (RAB), Press releases and renewables’ events as well as a comprehensive publications database and an interactive map of UK Renewable Energy projects (see 'Planning' page via the left-hand menu). 

Renewable energy is an integral part of the Government's longer-term aim of reducing CO2 emissions by 60% by 2050. The Government has set a target of 10% of electricity supply from renewable energy by 2010. In 2005, 4% of the UK's electricity supply came from eligible sources of renewable energy¹. During the same period, 4.2% of the UK's electricity supply came from all sources of renewable energy.

We believe It's Only Natural that you should want to know more about renewable energy.
