In 2022, MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme), the standards organisation for small-scale domestic renewable energy and heating across the UK, invested in larger, more sustainable offices at Sci-Tech Daresbury.
Established in 2007, MCS certifies low-carbon products and installations which are used to produce electricity and heat from renewable sources to support the UK’s drive towards a clean energy future. Over the past 15 years, demand for certified installers to install home-grown energy, such as solar PV, wind, heat pumps, biomass and battery storage, has rapidly increased and so has the focus for MCS.
MCS moved into its new offices space based in Violet 3, part of the new Violet complex at the entrance to Sci-Tech Daresbury, at the end of 2022. Sci-Tech Daresbury is a science and innovation campus located near Warrington.
Prior to 2018, the company was based in London before the decision was taken to invest its central operations firmly in the North West to accommodate future talent in a building and on a campus that matches its green energy principles.
We take a look behind the scenes to see what happens there…
