Camden Council joins Friends of the Earth to make Camden solar friendly

Camden Council may get a lot of flack but they genuinely arte trying to look out for our best interests and their latest endeavour show the effort they are making.The government has made a proposal to cut the income to installers of solar products, and Friends of the Earth is protesting about this.

We'd all like to see cheaper renewable eco friendly energy become mainstream and to help this happen we need to keep prices low and encourage people to get involved.

Not only are there plans to cut rates, but there are also two new controversies. 

'Firstly it proposes to bring forward the cuts to a date prior to the close of the consultation and secondly it further reduces rates to organisations that install more than one solar system.'

This would mean families who want more than one panel get penalized for trying to be energy efficient and we're not standing to it. Let's all dream of a solar filled future…

Cllr Sean Birch, Camden Council's Cabinet Member for Sustainability, said: "The proposed FiT review poses a significant challenge to renewable energy ambitions across Camden and undermines our push towards a 40 per cent borough wide carbon reduction by 2020. The review as it stands casts doubt over a number of our low carbon energy projects and is bad news for homeowners, our growing low carbon economy and the planet."
