Wind takes over as the UKs main source of electricity for the first time In the first quarter of 2023, an important transition occurred in the energy sector, as wind turbines surpassed gas as the primary source of energy generation. This shift signifies a significant step forward in the United Kingdom’s efforts to increase renewable energy solutions. During this period, wind farms contributed to one-third of our country’s electricity production, highlighting the increasing role of wind power in meeting our energy needs. Furthermore, renewable energy accounted for 42% of the United Kingdom’s t ..read more

Solar Panels are often regarded as one of the smartest investments you can make for your home in 2023. Being more affordable than ever and with an installation time from as little as just one day; Solar Panels are one of the most popular, home renewable energy sources in Scotland. How do Solar Panels work? When the sun is in the sky and daylight sines onto a solar panel, energy from the daylight is absorbed by the PV cells in the panel. This energy is then harvested and converted into usable energy for the home. There is a popular misconception that Solar Panels only work in direct sunlight, m ..read more

Heat Pump and Solar Panel Schemes: What funding is available for Scottish homeowners? The UK Government have set out their plan to phase out fossil fuelled heating systems by 2030. This is all part of the goal to meet net zero carbon emissions by 2050, and with home heating accounting for 15-20% of emissions in the UK, tackling the way we heat our homes is vital to achieving these targets. To encourage homeowners to make the switch from traditional means of heating their homes such as oil or gas boilers and electric heating, towards renewable heating, there have been funding schemes introduced ..read more

A three-bedroom home in Blairgowrie has transformed its energy system by upgrading from an old and ineffective fossil fuelled boiler, to an air source heat pump and installing solar panels. In April of 2021, the owners of a detached property in Blairgowrie boasting three bedrooms as well as separate study and dining room, approached Greener Energy Group with intentions of going green and cutting energy bills. Previously, the home was heated by an internal oil boiler, which was not only expensive to run, but also environmentally damaging and so they made the decision to go through the process ..read more

Renewable Energy and How We Can Utilise It For the past 150 years, we have heavily relied on coal, oil and other damaging fossil fuels to power our buildings, transport, factories etc. The use of these fuel sources has resulted in the carbon levels in our environment to reach exceptionally high levels and led to a global crisis. But times are changing, and we are realising the other amazing options that are much greener and play a key role in protecting our planet from the dangers of climate change. Renewable energy has an impressive number of benefits that go way past just being “green”, whi ..read more
