UK Energy Ministers challenged over cuts to Feed-In Tariffs

19.12.11

Elfyn Llwyd, MP for Plaid Cymru, has challenged UK Energy Ministers about the decision to cut the the Feed-In Tariffs (FIT) rate on 12th December, ahead of the consultation on the rate closing on 23rd December.

Elfyn Llwyd MP commented: “The UK Government’s plans on feed-in tariffs were hugely disappointing, and the fact that they have been introduced before the consultation has even ended shows that this is a financial rather than environmental decision.... Introducing these changes at this time was a very poor decision and I hope that the UK Government will see sense and reverse these plans, bearing in mind their commitment to being ‘the greenest government ever’.”
