Government to Appeal against Feed-in Tariff Ruling

In December 2011, Friends of the Earth and a consortium of Solar Installation Companies presented a legal challenge against the Governments unlawful cut in the Feed-in Tariff (FiTs).  On the 23^rd December the High Court ruled in favour of Friends of the Earth.  However, the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has now launched an appeal against this ruling and continues to aim to set the FiTs at a new rate of 21p per kWh, over 50% less than the original 43.3p.  The High Court has now set a date of the 13^th January 2012 for the appeal and the result of this is likely to affect how much FiTs each household will receive.   Currently, we are advised that householders wishing to install a Solar PV System will still receive 43.3p until the 31^st March 2012 and 21p thereafter.  With our competitive pricing structure, Solar PV can still offer an excellent Return on Investment (ROI) and certainly out perform the banks!
