New label launched for certified green electricity
A new certification scheme was launched on 9 February 2010 to label green electricity tariffs which have been certified as having genuine environmental benefits. The ‘green energy certified’ label will help customers recognise tariffs that have been certified under the scheme. It will reassure them that if they choose a certified green energy deal they will be supporting suppliers who are going the extra mile to reduce carbon emissions. The Scheme is controlled by an independent Panel, with the National Energy Foundation as its Secretariat.

NEF welcomes boiler scrappage but is concerned about availability
The National Energy Foundation (NEF) welcomed the Chancellor's announcement of a "Boiler Scrappage" scheme, under which old but still working G-rated boilers will be given a £400 incentive to buy a new boiler or renewable heat unit. "We estimate that a family home could save up to 1.9 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year and as much as £350 from their fuel bills," said Ian Byrne, Deputy Director. "If the old boiler still had an average 6 years of life left, this represents a cost to the Government of just £35 per tonne of CO2."
