Good Feed-in Tariff or bad Feed-in Tariff?

That’s right, we’re talking about Feed-in Tariffs – an extra payment for green energy generators to give the UK renewables industry the shot in the arm it needs. The right Feed-in Tariff can green up our power and begin decarbonising our economy. The government has made it law that the UK should have a Feed-in Tariff and now it’s time to create something that will work with the UK energy market.

But what kind of support do generators actually need? Do all generators need it? Who will organise the Feed-in Tariff and most importantly: who is going to pay for it?

Well, Good Energy wants to make sure the UK gets a good Feed-in Tariff, one that works for the generators, administrators and power companies, and one that does grow renewables in the UK. Most importantly, one that doesn’t cost you and me, the energy users, too much money!

So, after plenty of head scratching we‘ve come up with our analysis report Feed-in Tariffs for the UK that looks at various Feed-in Tariff models and how well they will work. We hope you’ll take a look at our ideas and maybe agree with some of our findings. Even better, let us know what you think of our Feed-in Tariff models or throw some questions at us about it in the comments section.
