The UK government has launched a new scheme to help homeowners contribute to the National Grid.

This is done via homeowners installing eco-freindly technology to create electricity, such as solar power or wind power. Any excess of energy that they produce but do not use will be sent to the National Grid, helping  people reduce their energy bills and lower their carbon footprint.

The scheme may potential save people up to £900 of their bills.

The feed in tariff  allows payments to be given for each unit of energy they produce aswell as giving an extra 3 pence per kilowat hour for every unit not consumed by the householder.
