Welsh Assembly launch project to help with MCS accreditation

[Ted]

A new package of support to help Welsh Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) profit from the renewable energy sector has been launched by Environment Minister Jane Davidson.
 
The Environment Minister unveiled a programme aimed at helping Welsh businesses to achieve the necessary accreditation to install microgeneration technology such as solar panels and heat pumps.

Through the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS), small and medium sized renewable energy installation companies will be able to access interest free loans to cover the cost of gaining MCS accreditation.

Eligible companies will also be able to access the services of a development officer who will provide free and impartial advice to steer them through the accreditation process.

It's good to see Wales looking after small business, but frustrating to see government introducing trade barriers, and then offering help to overcome the same. Of course, each turn of the wheel costs the taxpayer dearly. If only the coalition could see the MCS for what it is.
