Marks and Spencers is (rightly) proud of its Plan A initiative [Plan A - because there is no Plan B].
So on the face of it it was great news that an important local (IOM) plank in the edifice was announced.
Scratching not very deeply, though, all was not as it seemed....
Excerpt: "Ms Turner said, 'The MEA appear to be re-defining the term 'renewable electricity'. A waste incinerator cannot be considered renewable because the fuel, rubbish, is only burned once. In the UK, 'combined heat and power' (CHP) plants which use incineration are classed as producing renewable energy and are eligible for Renewables Obligations Certificates (ROCS). The IoM's incinerator is however not a CHP plant. It only produces power and actually wastes a huge amount of the heat it generates - as such it would not be eligible for ROCS.' (1)"
