Lux Nova has advised the small scale renewables consumer protection organisation Renewable Energy Consumer Code (RECC) (part of Renewable Energy Assurance Limited (REAL)), on its partnership with the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) and Which? Trusted Traders to improve consumer choice and protections in relation to installation of small scale renewable assets and enhance the offering for MCS registered installers.
RECC and MCS have welcomed the new arrangements which permit qualifying installers’ RECC membership fees to be included in the MCS “per installation” fee payable when they register on the MCS Installation Database on a “pay as you go” basis. Both MCS and RECC have commented that the new arrangement shows that consumer protection remains at the core of their operations.
Meanwhile the new Which? Trusted Trader arrangements provide qualifying RECC members with both reductions in fees and the benefits of being listed as a Which? Trusted Trader (part of the consumer champion Which?).
Lux Nova’s Stephen Lister said “We are proud of our association with REAL and were delighted to work with Virginia Graham OBE and her team on these arrangements which mark a great start to the new decade for both consumers and RECC”.
