  Worked on the 'Decentralised Energy Project' of Renewable Energy Association and surveyed the local authorities in the UK to ascertain the drivers and barriers that they are encouraged and curtailed by in the deployment of renewable energy technologies. Another aim of the survey was to find out the renewable energy technologies in use and the number of installations of these deployed using council funds to assess the activeness of the councils. I used this research in my MSc dissertation titled 'Renewable Energy Technologies: A comparative study of their deployment in India and the UK'. Show less
