Renewables and CHP Register Accessibility Statement

This website is run by Ofgem. We want everyone who visits the Renewables and CHP Register to feel welcome and find the experience rewarding. For example, this means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS and NVDA)
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Please Note: We are aware that there are some issues with the Register and we are currently working on a replacement Register (the Renewable Electricity Register, or RER), on which you can find further information here

The new Register will incorporate the Accessibility guidelines below.

How accessible this website is

We've worked hard on the Renewables and CHP Register. We've been using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user friendly for everyone.

The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA and AAA). We’ve chosen Level AA as the target for the Renewables and CHP Register, and believe we've achieved this goal. However, we continue to monitor the website regularly and the new Register will undergo a 3rd party review to ensure we can provide the best possible service. We will update this Statement with any additional information as appropriate.
