The logical argument for swapping fossil fuel powered boilers for solar panels, heat pumps and other green home energy devices has long been won. After all, who wouldn’t want affordable, sustainable power that doesn’t leave the UK at the mercy of a foreign power supplier? Or pose an existential threat to the human race? The practical side of the argument, ensuring homes can actually afford the switch to replacing oil, gas and coal, is a challenge that is gradually being overcome. Subsidies now on offer for heat pumps for example can make them cost neutral. It’s projected that within 20 years t ..read more

With 2050 having been set as the Net Zero target for the UK there are now numerous ways for people/organisations to access funding for energy-saving measures in their homes/businesses which will help contribute to this national goal. The most relevant to Go Geothermal’s business is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. This provides people/organisations with a grant to cover part of the cost of replacing fossil fuel heating systems such as oil, gas or electric, with a heat pump. Currently, £7,500 is available towards an air source heat pump or ground source heat pump (including water source heat pumps an ..read more

If you remember 1973, you’ll recall with a shudder the fashion of flares – the bigger and brighter the better – the fact that Dawn’s Tie a Yellow Ribbon was the biggest hit both sides of the Atlantic and that England failed to qualify for the World Cup. No-one wants to return to those days and in particular the oil crisis that saw its price quadruple in a matter of months and strikes on the domestic front that severely restricted coal supplies and led to the lights going out across Britain. Fifty years on there are fears that history may be repeating itself with regard to the volatility of gas ..read more

The watering down of the Prime Minister’s net zero commitments have left many fearing the Government’s green credentials have adopted more of a pastel shade. Changes include the deadline for a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars moving from 2030 to 2035 and the ban on oil and gas household boilers being delayed from 2026 to 2035. But it wasn’t all bad news on the green future front. In the same state of the net zero nation speech, Mr Sunak announced a 50% boost to the money available through the Boiler Upgrade Grant to help people afford heat pumps.. There are currently 60,000 domest ..read more

They say that failing to prepare is preparing to fail and in terms of a green future that’s the case whether you are a Government, business or householder. For the UK to be net zero by 2050 a series of targets will need to be reached along the way and that includes the logistics of supplying and installing the millions of solar panels, heat pumps and other green energy devices that will be required in homes, public buildings and workplaces. The Government has recognised the need to train over 50,000 apprentices to install and maintain new energy technologies and at Go Geothermal Ltd we are pro ..read more
