Heating products supplier Plumb Center is joining the Micropower Council.
Plumb Center's renewables director Simon Allan said: 'The Micropower Council has an admirable track record as one of the most insightful and influential organisations in the development of sustainable energy policies. We are therefore delighted to be joining its Executive Committee, which gives us the opportunity to play an active role in promoting the next generation of home energy solutions.

'With 1.6m heating systems being changed or updated every year, our customers are perfectly placed to spearhead the implementation of incentive schemes such as RHI and the Green Deal.

'Through the Micropower Council we will be lobbying on behalf of independent installers to secure their role in delivering carbon savings and affordable warmth across the UK.'

The Micropower Council says it represents companies and organisations active in the microgeneration sector 'and campaigns on behalf of its members for a genuine mass market for small scale, low and zero carbon electricity and heat generating technologies'.
