Date:

9 AUGUST 2010

Commenting on the announcement that Councils will now be able to sell energy to the national grid, Director General of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) Tom Foulkes said:

lsquo;Lifting this ban will help drive forward essential renewable energy projects in the UK, giving local authorities an incentive to invest in local projects. While a focus on large scale energy projects is essential, smaller community projects also have an important role to play in the UK’s future energy mix.’
