“Microgeneration of electricity will provide people and the environment with a huge range of benefits, according to one expert.

Juliet Davenport, founder and chief executive officer of Good Energy, believes that adopting small-scale generation projects could help the UK solve many of the problems facing it.

She said: "Generating your own power not only helps reduce overall carbon emissions but can help insulate us all from fuel price fluctuations and provide an alternative income in the future."

Patrick Holden, director of the Soil Association, added that microgeneration should be of particular interest to farmers as the country looks to build a more sustainable model of agriculture.

Good Energy is the only British power firm which supplies end users with electricity from 100 per cent renewable sources.

Recently, British Eco Energy claimed that people need to be educated about the potential benefits of microgeneration.

According to the organisation, this will help the government meet its climate targets.”
