solar pv, solar cuts

The solar installation sector today received news of the government’s finalised plans to cut solar PV subsidies by some 64 per cent, just days after the government signed up to comprehensive global plans to control climate change.
The Department of Energy and Climate Change had previously planned to reduce the Feed-in-Tariff subsidy scheme by 87 per cent, but revised its plans following sustained representation from a range of industry bodies, including the Electrical Contractors’ Association (ECA), who had taken the case to key ministers, MPs and parliamentary committees.
