The UK's Information Portal for Decentralised & Distributed Energy
.
.
We have teamed up with leading Decentralised and District Energy experts in order to give credible advice to those who are considering local energy solutions.
We aim to help Local Authorities and other organisations with any "how to" questions you may have and help those seeking to develop Distributed Energy with information on support, finance, regulation, standards and more.
To ask a question select one of the following to enable us to direct your question to the most appropriate expert:
1. Understanding a low carbon technology
3. Grants or financing of your project
4. Starting a new low carbon solution for housing and/or mixed use
9. Delivering a decentralised solution for an existing site
10. General question

The UK District Energy Association (ukDEA) is launched
DEKB is proud to announce that we will be the administrator and responsible for the day to day running of the newly launched UK District Energy Association, the ukDEA.
Conservative shadow energy minister Greg Barker MP has officially launched the UK District Energy Association which aims to promote District Energy as a means to deliver significant carbon savings and establish a direct link between the Government and the industry's small market base. Greg Barker said "As a long time advocate of District Energy, I look forward to working with them (ukDEA) and their members to refine our approach and I hope, potentially, to work with them in Government".
The ukDEA will be a not-for profit association of companies and public sector organisations, initially including representatives of the six main district energy schemes in the UK today: Birmingham City Council, Enviroenergy Limited, Veolia Environmental Services Limited, Southampton City Council, Thameswey Limited and Utilicom Limited. Working closely with the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), the ukDEA aims to improve consultation and communication between existing and potential scheme developers, operators, partners and users.
