Having looked at the MCS redevelopment document I don't think it will change much going forward if the proposals are accepted and will only continue to place barriers in the way of the expansion of the renewables sector and the uptake of renewable energy options by end users. From what I can see they are proposing very minor changes to the current working practices while protecting their castle while offering the small installers or those wanting to add another complimentary skill to their existing portfolio
One thing I didn't realise until reading the document is that MCS rely on third party inspections of contractors by other scheme providers prior to entry to the MCS scheme so what is the point of the existance of MCS when other schemes are involved in the registration process
Going green is clearly going to continue being expensive in a cost concious world that is trying to look after every penny while getting the most out of what we spend and we are back to lining these schemes pockets when they provide little value to the end product and is something that needs to be addressed especially having seen some of the less than acceptable jobs installed by MCS approved companies
