Greg Barker outlines proposals to protect green electricity scheme

摘要

Proposals to reduce the financial support available to larger scale solar-produced electricity have been published by the Government today as part of plans to protect financial support for homes, communities and small businesses. The consultation follows the launch in February of a fast- track review into how the Feed-in Tariffs (FITs) work for solar photovoltaic (PV) over 50 kW after evidence showing that there could already be 169 MW of large scale solar capacity in the planning system - equivalent to funding solar panels on the roofs of around 50,000 homes if tariffs are left unchanged.
