In this section you will find an introduction to renewables for some of the groups likely to need information on renewables (see the list on the left).

Other useful start-points

We recommend you also visit the News & Info section where the Frequently Asked Questions section is often a good place to start, while Useful Links shows many other websites where you can get relevant information. The facts and figures page gives certain key data about the industry and calculators you can use to get estimates of useful data, such as the output or carbon saving of a renewable energy project, number of households electricity served etc. And in an industry rich in acronyms and buzzwords, the Glossary section is an invaluable ‘jargon buster’.
