During the launch, Mr Barker described communities installing their own low carbon energy as 'epitomising the vision of the Big Society'.
The website has been developed with community networks, the Local Government Group and industry bodies like the CHPA (Combined Heat and Power Association). It is designed to give communities access to information from different independent sources on generating low carbon heat and power.
It has also been announced that the Department of Energy and Climate Change will shortly be consulting on its Microgeneration Strategy and publishing further details on the Renewable Heat Incentive.
