Scheme Governance

The Microgeneration Certification Scheme Service Company (MCSSCo) trades as MCS. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The MCS Foundation. 

Since 2008, MCS has become the recognised Standard for UK products and their installation in the small-scale renewables sector. The Standards are owned by The MCS Foundation and produced by MCS, following development by independent Technical Working Groups.

This governance model is designed to raise and maintain standards and consumer protection across the industry. We are independent of, but supported by, government and industry. MCS is responsible for the day-to-day running of the Scheme and has been independent of Government since novation in April 2018.
