Last week the Sunday Times (or was it the FT) reported that Powergen was probably involved in a partnership with CFCL. Why? Because an ex-Powergen employee was on the Board of CFCL! This week the speculation continues with the rumour that Powergen has abandoned its relationship with WhisperGen, the New Zealand Stirling engine micro CHP developer. Where do they get this stuff?! According to Powergen, everything is going just fine with their micro CHP plans and they are continuing their commercial roll-out with housing developers and social housing providers.
They are also upping their game with a wider move into microgeneration as one of the two energy companies awarded contracts under the UK Government's Low Carbon Buildings Programme (LCBP) to supply biomass boilers, heat pumps and mini wind turbines to public sector buildings including social housing. The DTI is providing grant support up to 50% under the scheme. If phase 1 of the programme is anything to go by, the money (all £50 million) probably won't last long.
