Re: Living off the Planet (none / 0)

well, of course, the govt don't really want any dfh energy but they can't be seen to slam a door on it. so they make sure it just remains uncompetitive and let it rot.

keep to the Fen Causeway

not really (none / 0)

the comparison in the article is stupid. Germany and others have feed-in tariffs for all sizes of projects, whereas the new Uk one is only for smaller projects (ie the least economic ones).

You won't get multiples more renewable energy projects just from small scale generation.

Re: not really (none / 0)

Hm? Economies of size apply to bigger projects, that's why Germany's feed-in tariffs are stepped, with the highest rates for the small ones.

agreed (none / 0)

what I'm saying is that you won't get a lot of renewable energy only from the smallest projects, and the UK regime only supports small projects.

Re: agreed (none / 0)

What are the limits for wind and solar? They are entirely missing from the articles I can find.
