LONDON, April 7 (UPI) -- The British Wind Energy Association criticized the government's decision to extend the Low Carbon Buildings Program into the next decade.
In a statement, BWEA, the country's leading renewable energy business organization, said it was frustrated by the government announcement from the Business Enterprise & Regulatory Reform Department.
"To extend LCBP in its current form is to extend the illusion that government is sufficiently supporting the U.K. micro-generation industry at a critical stage in its development," said Alex Murley, BWEA Small Systems manager.
Government statistics suggest the program is providing domestic grants at such a low rate that the micro-generation market is not being substantially helped, Murley said.
He said if the cap on individual grants were removed, the program might be more efficient, but the government has not said there are plans to do so.
The BWEA said the industry needs more help if the country is going to meet its carbon emissions targets in the next decade and beyond.
