Claire Perry supports renewable sources of energy

On Friday 1st July Sarsen Energy opened their new warehouse in Collingbourne Ducis. Claire Perry MP celebrated this occasion and performed the ribbon cutting ceremony.

Commenting, Claire said:

"I am delighted to officially open the Sarsen Energy wood burning centre in Collingbourne Ducis with its wide range of wood burners and boilers. This expansion is perfect as the Government is committed to producing 15% of the UK's energy from renewable sources such as wood by 2020.

The new Renewable Heat Initiative scheme will provide long-term support for the sort of products sold by Sarsen Energy. As a committed wood burner user I am pleased to see this great local company succeed."

John Barber-Starkey, MD of Sarsen Energy Ltd commented:

"The new Government grant scheme for wood fuelled central heating coupled with rising energy prices means that a lot of customers will be interested in replacing their oil, coal, gas or electric systems with wood. We find that more and more customers are now turning to the ancient fuel of wood which is now the fuel of the future as it is renewable, efficient and clean."

• Current energy policy means that homeowners who install an accredited biomass boiler can receive substantial payments from the Government RHI scheme for up to 20 years.
• Under the Government's Green Energy Policy all households that install an accredited biomass boiler will be eligible for tariff payments know as the RHI Premium Payment (RHIPP). This will mean that for a typical house the customer will receive a payment in line with the size of their boiler output for up to 20 years.
