Once reserved for science fiction writers and makers of TV programmes like Tomorrow's World, renewable energy has finally come of age. Technology has come a long way in recent years and individuals, communities and businesses are recognising the benefits of switching to renewable energy.

You're probably already sold on the idea that, by using renewable energy, you can have less of a negative impact on the environment. But like most of us, you're probably wondering just what you can do to take advantage of it.

Well, the good news is, you've come to the right place. And you'll be relieved to learn that you don't have to erect a 40 metre high windmill in your garden. This site, set up with support from the DTI and BP Solar, has been designed especially to give you:

	Information on renewable energy for your home or business
	Grants and support for renewable energy initiatives
	Up-to-date news and information on the latest developments, and
	An explanation of Government policy
