June 2007: The SEE-Stats database contains a total of 216 operational and 50 planned installations in this sub-region. The most significant installed capacity is landfill gas (awaiting data), followed by dedicated biomass (40 MW electrical, 22 MW thermal), biomass co-firing (25 MW electrical) and sewage gas (3 MW electrical). There has been an increase of 0.6 MW thermal biomass heating capacity and 0.1 MW electrical solar PV capacity since the last update in December 2007.

The data collection partner for the Thames Valley and Surrey is TV Energy.

BIOGAS & SEWAGE GAS Click here to view installations generating electricity and/or heat from biogases produced by the anaerobic digestion of renewable biological sources. These can include organic waste, animal manure and sewage sludge. :: click here for more information	HYDRO Click here to view installations generating electricity from low-head hydro turbines driven by the flow of local rivers. :: click here for more information
BIOMASS Click here to view installations generating electricity and/or heat from the combustion, pyrolysis or gasification of biomass (material of recent biological origin, such as wood). :: click here for more information	ONSHORE WIND Click here to view installations generating electricity from local land-based turbines driven by the wind. :: click here for more information
CO-FIRING Click here to view installations generating electricity and/or heat from a mixture of biomass and fossil fuels. This technology is regarded as important for stimulating the use of biomass. :: click here for more information	OFFSHORE WIND Installations generating electricity from turbines off the local coast and driven by the sea winds. :: Not applicable in this sub-region
ENERGY CROPS Click here to view renewable energy crop plantations.  Plants grown here, such as willow and grasses or oilseed rape, are converted into useful energy sources (either biomass or liquid biofuels). :: click here for more information	SOLAR PV Click here to view installations generating electricity from energy provided by the sun. This makes use of the photovoltaic (PV) effect: solar radiation falling on a special surface triggers an electrical current.  :: click here for more information
OTHER THERMAL Click here to view installations generating or transferring heat from energy provided by renewable sources. These include ground source heat pumps, solar energy collectors and geothermal aquifers. :: click here for more information	TIDAL & WAVE Installations generating electricity from energy provided by turbines driven by the movement of either the surface of the sea or tides. :: Not applicable in this sub-region
