We are delighted that the UK government has finally announced that they are adopting Feed-in Tariffs. However, for the pioneers who installed their microgenerator before July 15th 2009 the government is offering much lower payments – just 9p a unit -  than those available to new generators, who will get up to 41.3p a unit.  We think this is wrong.

The UK microgeneration industry owes its existence to the early adopters who installed their own generation equipment because they wanted to make a difference to climate change. Many invested their life savings in such schemes because they believed it was the right thing to do – and they deserve to be recognised and rewarded for their entrepreneurial attitude, not penalised. We believe that green energy entrepreneurs should not be worse off under the new scheme.

So we’re campaigning for a change in the legislation to ensure they get the recognition they deserve.

You can support the campaign in the following ways:

If you are an existing generator who will be affected by this, please write to your MP telling him about your concerns and asking him to sign the Early Day Motion.

If we work together, we can make a difference and help our energy entrepreneurs the fair deal they deserve for helping set the UK on the right path to reducing its carbon emissions.

Many thanks for your support and please pass this on to friends.
