Dear Member of Parliament,
Please will you support the newly created petition listed below. I
have created it on the e-petition website and it says that it will
take up to 7 days to be reviewed. The DECC are due to announce cuts of
over 50% to the levels in feed-in tariff tomorrow (Monday) so
highlighting this petition early would be a great help.
Thank you in anticipation of your support.
Petition name: Save Our Solar Industry
"Government cuts to the solar PV (electricity) feed in tariff by more
than 25%, will all but kill off the fledgling industry. We propose the
level be reduced no further than 15% per year and have a clear
degression plan for future investment stability.
The feed-in tariff scheme is paid for by electricity companies,
meaning the average bill payer subsidises the cost of the investment
of solar panels by a small increase in bills. However we are already
subsidising the cost of other future power generation investments
chosen by fossil fuel favouring energy companies.
In the current scheme forces them to invest in decentralised, clean
energy. Given the facts most people will understand and support those
costs for a sustainable future.
Cuts above 50% will mean payback of over 18 years which most people
will not be able to afford, killing off the industry which has been
growing successfully in the past few years."
