Grants and finance

Microgeneration can be expensive. Microgeneration isn't suitable for every home. However, the right technology in the right location will deliver a reliable source of energy that will help reduce your carbon footprint, cut your energy bills and through combined savings and income may deliver a better return on your investment than putting your money in a bank, particularly while interest rates remain low. However if you do not have the money or the access to the funds to pay for a microgeneration system you won't be able to install it, no matter how good an investment it may be.

This section of the website is entirely dedicated to overcoming the financial challenge of microgeneration. We can provide you with information on the grant schemes that are available and how to access them. We can also point you towards local grants that may exist in your area and help to reduce the cost of installing microgeneration even further.

Unique to Generate Your Own Good Energy is the help we can give you to raise an 'social' loan for your microgeneration system. We have been working with the the world's first 'social lending' platform, ZOPA who have agreed to help our customers get access to finance to fund their microgeneration projects.

And remember, generating your own energy earns you an income. Good Energy Generation's award winning schemes pay you for the energy you generate, so once you have installed your generator sign up to the right scheme for you.
