Recently, Ofgem hosted a Webinar on ‘Guidance on how to produce an Independent Technical Assurance Report’ aimed at those who own a generation station. Two of our engineers Andrew and Oli, took part in the Webinar and learned key points that make producing a quality ITAR important:

On 20 September, around 40 delegates joined us for an afternoon of presentations on the topic of energy storage. The event was organised by GrowSave, a knowledge sharing project, delivered by FEC Energy on behalf of AHDB Horticulture.

Mention energy storage and many people will first think of batteries. While this is part of the story, electricity is just one form of energy. Growers may be more familiar with heat released through the combustion of fuel in a boiler or engine, for example.

The long anticipated RHI regulations are to come into effect on 20 September. The reforms were laid before parliament yesterday giving the minimum 20-day notice.

This week has seen changes here at FEC Energy that brings positive news for both our clients and staff alike. We have sold the FEC Energy Ltd business to the National Farmers Union (NFU) in a strategic move which recognises the increasing involvement of farmers in the energy business.

If you applied to the Renewable Obligation (RO) scheme before it closed recently, or are trying to achieve RO accreditation you may require an Independent Technical Assurance Report (ITAR).

I recently read some interesting news about electric cars and their relentless takeover of our roads. Dutch Bank ING reckons that within two decades all cars sold will be electric.

Oli Coe from FEC Energy looks at this diverse topic.

Over the last couple of years, I have been involved with an Innovate UK (IUK) funded research project focusing on improving storage conditions for potatoes.

I recently visited the Olympic Park in Stratford, London to view their district heating system, which consists of a biomass boiler, four gas boilers and three gas Combined Heat and Power units.
