Last night, Lord Hunt came back with his amendments to the Energy Bill and, as promised, here’s an update. For electricity feed in tariff, he’s proposed: Feed in tariff for renewable generation up to a maximum of 3MW (excellent). Qualifying technology: biomass, biofuels (oh dear), fuel cells, photovoltaics, water (including waves and tides), wind, solar [...]

Feed In Tariffs and Renewable Heat
Posted in climate change, Code for Sustainable Homes, energy, renewable energy, sustainability, tagged Feed In Tariffs on October 28, 2008 | 2 Comments »
A quick thought on feed in tariffs. If a value is agreed for micro power generating renewables, what will the impact be on the solar thermal industry?

This is my first post from an iPhone using the free wordpress blogging app. Very fun. Wired magazine recently predicted the end of blogging. As the once democratic medium is hijacked by journalists, apparently people are flocking to twitter as the best means of keeping “in touch” with friends and colleagues. For me it doesn’t [...]

Away from the fanfare around Ed Miliband’s announcement that a feed in tariff (FiT) is on the way, the Lords have been debating an amendment to the Energy Bill that has the support of Conservatives, Lib Dems, and even some Labour peers.

Over recent weeks it’s become clearer which way the wind is blowing on private wire. Although BERR and OFGEM have set themselves an end-of-year deadline for finalising changes to the licensing regime, it’s possible to get a feel for which way they’re headed. Here are some of the key bits:

I hadn’t had any contact emails via the blog in a while so I checked to see if anything was wrong. Turns out the email account I was using had expired in May. Sincere apologies to anyone who wrote to us here at Carbon Limited and didn’t receive a reply. It’s all fixed now so [...]
