Energy and Climate Change written question – answered at on 18 July 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what steps he has taken to assist (a) community projects and (b) small businesses with the cost of solar photovoltaic installations.
The feed-in tariffs (FITs) scheme provides support to non-energy professionals, including communities and small businesses, to incentivise the uptake of small-scale, low carbon electricity generation, such as solar photovoltaics (PV).
As part of the Microgeneration Strategy, DECC promised advice by September 2011 for communities on buying groups. This will enable communities to get better value for money on a range of energy products including solar PV. This information will be published on Community Energy Online, a web portal developed by DECC for disseminating information to communities about renewable energy.
