MCS

Who we are

There has never been a more exciting time to work in renewable energy, and the MCS Group has big ambitions. Our aim is to ensure every UK home benefits from being carbon free, by transforming the way our homes are heated, cooled and powered and giving everyone confidence in home-grown energy. With energy costs rising and climate change affecting us all, low-carbon technology has a big role to play in the future of UK energy.

The MCS Group is comprised of The MCS Foundation, a charitable foundation, and MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme), the UK’s quality mark for renewable energy technologies like solar panels and heat pumps. The Scheme sets standards for installations and products and protects consumers. The MCS Scheme currently certifies over 5,400 installers, 369,000 installations a year and over 100,000 low carbon technology products to MCS Standards.

The MCS Foundation owns MCS as its only shareholder and advances the adoption of low carbon solutions through research, advocacy, grants and action-oriented programmes.
