UK Introduces Incentives For Small-Scale Green Power

03-02-10

The U.K. government Monday introduced incentives for small-scale green electricity generation and published its plans to encourage low-carbon heating technologies, as it seeks to boost renewable energy supply to meet European Union 2020 climate change targets.

From April 1, householders and communities who install low-carbon electricity technology such as solar photovoltaic panels and wind turbines generating up to five megawatts will be paid for the electricity they generate--via so-called feed-in tariffs--even if they use it themselves. The level of payment depends on the technology and is linked to inflation. They will receive a further payment for any electricity they feed into the grid.
