This paper was a précis of work funded by ESRC that helped to redefine micro renewables. The Minister for Science and Innovation, Malcolm Wicks on 30/11/2006 stated that: ‘…. the Secretary of State considers that the report "Unlocking the Power House" makes an important contribution to the growing body of research on the deployment of microgeneration technologies and will help to inform the development of the microgeneration aspects of the Energy White Paper.’ The report was discussed and referenced in the Stern Review on climate change (http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/+/http:/www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/sternreview_index.htm) and recommendations were reflected in the renewable feed-in tariff introduced in 2010.
