More renewable energy projects are needed to meet UK’s 2030 targets.
Posted by EnergyWatchIT in climate change on March 29, 2012
The recent huge profits announced by EDF and Centrica have fuelled debate about the behaviour of the UKs’s major energy companies and their dominance of the energy market. With such healthy profits we need to ask if the consumer is overpaying for a basic service. Not only overcharging customers could be at play but the transition to renewable energy could be stalled by their slow progress in this regard,
Many of the UK’s coal and gas power stations come to the end of their usefull life in the near future . The UK Government plans to reform the electricity market in May. This offers an opportunity to firmly establish renewable energy as a viable alternative in the country to drive towards a zero-carbon electricity infrastructure by 2030 , a date set by the Committee on Climate Change (CCC).

Keep Britain Tidy Network Conference 2012
Posted by EnergyWatchIT in eco schools on March 8, 2012
It’s official. The EU has entered a mild double dip recession, as this week’s EU economic data reveals. But we knew that anyway, did’nt we?
In the UK and Ireland enforced Government cutbacks and rising taxes (direct and indirect) have put a squeeze on all budgets. But there are always opportunities to find savings, re-cycle revenues and work smarter. That’s what we do at Energy WatchIT. And we’re delighted to partner with Keep Britain Tidy to explore better ways of working sustainably. We’re delighted to participate in the forthcoming Keep Britain Tidy Network Conference to address today’s challenges and build a better future.

The Keep Britain Tidy Network Conference 2012 aims to provide the tools to enable and empower you to make informed decisions to help create a stable and sustainable future.
Every little (bit of CO2 reduction) helps for Tesco
Posted by EnergyWatchIT in climate change, energy savings, PC power savings on January 18, 2012
We’re delighted to congratulate Tesco this week on the occasion of the opening of their first “zero-carbon store” in Ireland.
The latest store opened in Cabra, Dublin is the first in Ireland and their fourth “zero-carbon store” to be opened since 2009. Others are located in Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire and Powys in the UK.
In order to meet “zero-carbon” standards the supermarket has been designed to require a very low energy demand and to avail of all onsite renewable energy technologies installed instead of inward draws of energy. The building design ensures that over the course of a year it exports as much energy to the Grid as it consumes – i.e. it’s energy neutral.
Are UK Academy schools adding to the Educational sector’s carbon footprint?
Posted by EnergyWatchIT in climate change, eco schools, energy savings, Uncategorized on November 3, 2011
Academy schools are the darlings of the current UK Government. They tend to be progressive and want to make their mark quickly. But is their rush to establish themselves with the latest technologies having an unintended environmental impact?
Well, a recent study published by Building Research & Innovation points a finger at their modern buildings being responsible for higher energy consumption and rising carbon footprint as a result.
The study , entitled ‘ Using Display Energy Certificates to quantify schools’ energy consumption’, was released on Oct 31st 2011 and suggests that these new academies have ‘significantly higher’ energy consumption compared to traditional secondary schools, because they tend to be ‘new builds’ with more ‘state-of-the-art’ facilities.

Energy Retrofit Pay as you save option must be ambitious
Posted by EnergyWatchIT in climate change, energy savings on September 23, 2011
Addressing a conference on retrofitting in Ireland, today Sept 23rd Energy Minister Pat Rabbitte announced a “pay as you save” scheme is to replace the current grants for retrofitting old housing stock with insulation . As always with these Ministerial announcements the details must yet be teased out with the relevant parties. Since only 30,000 homes availed of grants this year to have work done we need to significantly boost our adoption rate to meet 2020 targets of reducing energy consumption by 2020. As cash is very tight both for the Government and the householders and current grant aids run until 2014 we would expect that the funds may not reach that far. So a ‘ Pay As You Save Option (PAYSO) is the only way to achieve these goals.
