Councils across Scotland shall be permitted to sell green electricity which they produce to the National Grid in a budge UK ministers anticipate shall kick-start an innovative energy revolution.

Premeditated to augment the number of renewable energy projects around Britain, the stir might also establish a enhancement for the scruffy finances of local authorities.

Last night the verdict was greeted by a number of committees, counting Highland and Shetland Islands.

Ministers have upturned a bluntly ludicrous law that barred councils from vending on any surplus renewable electricity they created.

The constraint was initiated in 1989 during an epoch of huge-scale electricity privatization, however the ministers feels that in present state of society, especially with the requirement to curtail carbon release, it no longer makes brains.

They are distress that it has constrained local projects, with committees restraining their investment in renewable projects. As per Chris Huhne, the UK energy secretary, he has texted to all local councils to inform them regarding the modification, due to come into force next week.
