A massive investment is needed for the national grid to integrate increasing amounts of renewable energy and to meet a rising demand for electricity.
This comes as a scheme allowing individuals, community groups, business owners and farmers to sell electricity to the national grid - if they generate it from solar panels, wind turbines and other sustainable energy technologies - looks set to be in place this summer.
The plan is part of the Government s Microgeneration Support Scheme , which is set to begin in July and is presently in public consultation until mid-February.
