Government targets for renewable energy have been established in the Government White
Paper (2003) and Planning Policy Statement PPS22: renewable energy (2004). These have
provided the national planning framework for promoting and considering proposals for
renewable energy and encourage local authorities to consider the opportunity for developing
renewable energy projects in connection with new developments.

To help meet the national and regional government renewable targets, major proposals for employment, retail and residential developments are required to incorporate appropriate
renewable energy heating or power systems. In many parts of the UK, new commercial and
public developments over a certain size are required to provide at least 10% of their energy
requirements by renewable means.

Ground source heat pumps provide an efficient renewable energy source. TCS have
partnered with quality proven reliable products to enhance the overall ground source heat
package. As leading manufacturers in the market place we provide flexibility in offering
the client packages on a site-specific basis to help meet renewable targets specified in
local authority planning legislation.
