Gov Loses Feed in Tariff Ruling
The Government has lost its appeal against a High Court ruling that found its cuts to solar energy tariffs were legally flawed. Responding to the news, Caroline Flint, Labour's Shadow Energy and Climate Change Secretary, said the ruling showed the decision to cut the fees was "legally flawed". "[This is] a victory for all who had been warning for months the Tory-led Government’s cuts to solar power were bad for the public, bad for jobs and growth, and bad for the environment, but legally flawed too. The Government has wasted time and money fighting the High Court ruling and created huge uncertainty, putting thousands of jobs in renewable energy at risk. The Government must now go back to the drawing board and bring forward more measured proposals that guarantee the continued growth of the solar industry, put feed-in tariffs on a sustainable footing and are fair to the public.”
