― Common Weal strongly disagrees with the proposal to end export and generation tariffs for renewable energy on 31st March 2019.
― Doing so will be irrevocably harmful to the renewable industry with the solar industry likely to be badly affected.
― It will slow progress on carbon emission reduction, particularly in England.
― Eliminating the tariffs will not significantly reduce energy costs for consumers who don’t directly benefit from them – research has shown they only contribute to bills by approximately £1 per household per year.
― In light of our fundamental disagreement with this proposal, Common Weal will make no comment on further questions in the consultation.
