High Court – Subsidy Cuts Ruling

A high court judge ruled today that the governments plans to slash Feed-in Tariff incentives was unlawful.

Climate Change Minister Greg Barker responded:

“We disagree with the Court’s decision. We will be seeking an appeal and hope to secure a hearing as soon as possible. Regardless of today’s outcome, the current high tariffs for solar PV are not sustainable and changes need to be made in order to protect the budget which is funded by consumers through their energy bills.”
