Policy Exchange calls for the "abolition" of FiTs

Wednesday, 18 January 2012

Synopsis

"Political think-tank, Policy Exchange, has criticised the Department of Energy and Climate Change’s renewable energy policies, calling for the “wasteful” feed-in tariff scheme to be scrapped completely.

"In a report titled ‘The full cost to households of renewable energy policies', Policy Exchange states that the DECC’s strategy to de-carbonise the country’s energy in order to meet binding carbon-reduction commitments offers an unnecessarily expensive way of reducing carbon emissions."
