Renewables Obligation
The Renewables Obligation mechanism subsidises electricity produced from commercial renewable resources in the UK.
Wind Farms
Wind farms are made up of multiple turbines and are situated both on & offshore. They harness kinetic wind energy to create large amounts of electricity.
Wave Energy
Wave energy is where electrical energy is harnessed from the constant kinetic energy of the sea. Technology still in its infancy but has big potential.
Hydroelectric Power
Hydroelectric power involves harnessing the kinetic energy of moving water to produce electricity. Power source used in the UK to manage peaks in demand.
FiT Contract For Difference (cfd)
FiT Contract for Difference (CfD) is the new mechanism for electricity generation that is set to replace the Renewables Obligation (ROs) from 2017.
