According to GreenWise, lack of clarity over the government’s commitment to the green economy is causing concern to businesses involved in the sector. Of particular concern has been the government’s handling of the Feed-in Tariff (FiT) scheme, which has been widely reported on since December.

The MBA Strategic Carbon Management course director at Norwich Business School, Dr Gideon Middleton, said that business was facing an "increasing quagmire of UK legislation – especially around energy and carbon. This creates problems for all business as energy and carbon are ubiquitous costs and the overall lack of a clear direction means that business can not effectively plan because there is a large uncertainty around strategic energy and carbon costs as well as the potential size of any Feed-in Tariffs."
