Energyshare - something truly amazing is happening in renewable energy. Sheffield City Council - Renewable Energy Scoping and Feasibility Study for Sheffield. We appointed IT Power to carry out a renewable energy scoping and feasibility study for the city in 2006.
The purpose of the study was to ascertain Sheffield’s potential for renewable energy generation and to provide guidance on how the city could meet and exceed its share of the regional renewable energy targets which were in place at the time. The study comprises an assessment of the potential for both large-scale generation and microgeneration, examining a variety of technologies in turn. It also contains guidance for development management to help with determining planning applications. The annexes below are separate from the main document due to the size of the files.

Time to draw the curtain on solar feed-in tariff farce - 04 Jan 2012 - James' Blog: a blog from BusinessGreen. Where did it all go wrong?
Three months ago the solar industry was a shining success story in a UK renewables sector enjoying a period of unprecedented expansion. Three months on and a series of misjudgements and miscalculations means the sector has been thrown into a crippling period of limbo with several more months of costly confusion in the offing. Today the government will attempt to bring the crisis to some sort of resolution by appealing against last month's court ruling that the decision to effectively impose cuts to feed-in tariffs before the end of the consultation period was "retrospective" and "unlawful". But the chances of any real clarity being delivered as a result of the appeal hearing look remote. When issuing his ruling Judge Mitting offered a clear warning to the government that there was little chance an appeal would prove successful. So where did it all go wrong? So if that is where it all went wrong, where do we go from here? Free solar PV offers / Solar panels (PV) / Generate your own energy.
World’s poorest countries set for climate cash boost. By John Parnell Projects like this cookstove venture in Zambia not only cut carbon, but also provide multiple development benefits.
(Source: Flickr/CDM Photo Contests) Some of the world’s poorest countries are gearing up for a climate funding boost as new UN and EU policies unfold. As the Africa Carbon Forum comes to a close in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the UN’s climate agency, the UNFCCC, announced new loan scheme to help get projects off the ground in Least Developed Countries (LDCs). The UN’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) allows third parties to invest in projects to cut carbon in developing nations. While there are currently around 3560 projects registered under the CDM in China, according to the UN Environment Programme, there are only around 235 registered in the whole of Africa. “The CDM Loan Scheme is a chance to improve the access to and spread of the CDM, particularly in Africa,” said Christiana Figueres, executive secretary, UNFCCC at the event in Addis Ababa.
