Micro CHP book

I feel almost guilty not having contributed anything since January, particularly when there has been so much going on in the micro CHP world. I was quite tempted to make some comment on the FIT, so appropriately launched on 1st April 2010, but instead decided to spend my time doing something more productive.

So, here it is! At last, after what seems like an eternity I have finished the book on micro CHP. It has not been easy trying to write faster that things change, so in the end I gave up and drew a line under it. So, FIT is included in the book, but there may be references to LCBP so precipitously withdrawn only last week.

Interesting, though hardly surprising, that the programme which actually impacts the treasury (LCBP) gets pulled, but the FIT, which is a poorly concealed stealth tax which they can blame on the energy companies (who are charged with collecting the funding from customers' bills) carries on regardless.

The demise of Disenco, the launch of Baxi Ecogen (oft repeated) are both noted, but there are almost certainly things which will be wrong before you read the book. Feel free to comment and send updates. I can't promise to respond to all of them, but at least I will endeavour to incorporate them in the next edition.
