Dunster Castle has recently had solar panels fitted.
Leader of the Liberal Democrats Nick Clegg has pledged that his party will up the manufacture of green energy by turning empty shipyards into wind turbine production centres should the Lib Dems win power.
This boost to the renewable energy market would be good news for business electricity customers who are keen to embrace the development of green energy, which could also help reduce overheads in the future.
The Lib Dems say that seven shipyards could be converted and 57,000 jobs created – all of this good news for the economy.
Many businesses are increasingly concerned about renewable energy. It was reported in The Guardian today that The National Trust is aiming to cut its use of fossil fuels for electricity and heat by 45% by 2020. Recent initiatives have included installing solar panels on the roof of Dunster Castle in Somerset, which may be an option that smaller businesses look at in the near future.
