‘Renewable Energy: Made in Britain,’ a ground-breaking new report from the REA and Innovas.
This report marks the first time that the turnover and employment figures of the entire UK renewables sector have been quantified and brought together in one place. The report finds that in 2010/11, the UK renewables industry was worth £12.5 billion and supported 110,000 jobs, with 400,000 in total required to meet the 2020 renewables targets. The report also reveals:
• the overall increase in market value from 2009/10 to 2010/11 was 11% - outstripping economic growth over the same period (1.4%) by a factor of eight;
• meeting our renewable energy targets would displace fossil fuels with a cumulative value of £60 billion to 2020, giving a significant boost to the UK’s balance of trade.
The report costs £25.00 per copy and we are only able to accept payment by credit card.

It is possible for electricity generated from mixed wastes and from biomass to qualify for support under
the Renewables Obligation. In order to obtain this support, the operator of the energy-from-waste plant
is required to determine the fraction of the energy content of the fuel which is derived from biomass
(i.e. non-fossil fuels).

This document has been prepared by the Renewable Energy Association, with advice from Steering Group1, and in consultation with industry through a stakeholder workshop and an industry-wide survey. It is not the UK's official National Action Plan but the Department of Energy and Climate Change has been consulted during the production of this document, and is encouraged to implement the suggestions it makes.
