FIT Announcement expected tomorrow (Thursday)

[Somecamel]

Hearing that the FIT announcement will be tomorrow- News from BPVA

 

[Gavin A]

1st August then?

nuts that they're going to do it now when installation rates are already so low.

 

[Somecamel]

A new 2 month rush coming gents

 

[Earthstore]

Maybe they are going to put it up....

 

[finchy]

I don't expect a 2 month rush -two weeks ago we all thought (installers& customers) thought it was 1st July but no rush was being seen ....! Sadly the damage has been done ...! They need to pull a rabbit out of a hat.

Complete idiots at DECC ! It's almost a Carry on DECC starring Greg barker and his dog Otto, Dave Cam 'greenest government ever' Chris Hunn 'speed demon' and Edward Davy ....

 

[moggy1968]

is it incompetence, or is it actually their intention to kill the industry?

 

[sedgy34]

It's the muppet advisors they have employed

 

[sedgy34]

Don't forget guys who set up the fit I recall it was labour wasn't it
the Tories inherited it and have probably taken money out the budget set aside for there wages whoops I mean for the other stuff that's priority cause we keep hearing the down turn of recession blah blah blah

 

[moggy1968]

the money for Fit doesn't come from Government, it comes from everyone elses electricity bills, so there is no Budget as such

 

[sedgy34]

They have control of it as they keep saying the cut in fit is to keep it sustainable and the money in the pot

 

[moggy1968]

yes, they have control of it, but the fact the government has blown all their money on euro MPs and over cost defence projects shouldn't affect fit

 

[Ian-LS]

I'm sharpening my pitch fork as we speak...:ninja:

 

[finchy]

In an age of information Ministers can not hide Incompetence !

Its plain simple incompetence, the more I read up about FIT's I just keep coming across more and more information about how we either directly or indirectly subsidise fossil fuels. Where is the public/media outrage.......we need to solve the energy crisis Solar PV is needed, Electric cars are here demand is rising...Great Britain needs to embrace this new technology...we need to invest and build our way out of this Economic merry-go-round !

Shelve the Green deal increase subsidies for Green technology. If owners live in a poor energy performing house and in fuel poverty then they should simply move. The houses that are that bad should be demolished.

 

[moggy1968]

thats pretty controversial, some of us actually like old houses, and you seem to be overlooking the environmental cost of demolishing those old houses and building new ones, and who will pay for it?
Has it occured to you that people in fuel poverty actually can't afford to move?

 

[Somecamel]

Apparently there will be 'two' rather large announcements made today

 

[sedgy34]

Where on decc website?

 

[Somecamel]

It's not on their yet

 

[Somecamel]

Friends of the Earth are saying it's due at Lunchtime today

 

[Somecamel]

Looks like it will be shown live on Player

 

[Energetic]

I'm watching. Ed's in germany seeing how to do things properly hopefully and can't see Greg anywhere...

Sneak it in on the last day of parliment before recess then run like hell...

 

[Ian-LS]

Looks like it will be shown live on Player

Announcement to be made at 12.30pm to parliament according to bbc parliament twitter. Why can't DECC put this on their sodding website?

[SRE]

Is it just me or does the backslapping in the House of Commons want to make you put your fingers down your throat!

 

[Gavin A]

Snap!:28:

 

[dansk]

and Our Solar Future ‏@OurSolarFutureOther key decision - 3.5% baseline degression every 3 months but skipped if deployment is "low". More detail to follow.

 

[pcollins]

FFS, and he's raised the multiple installation rate to 90%

Greg slept with rent a roof....

 

[SRE]

Why bother proposing something and consulting when you've no intention of sticking to it!

 

[Worcester]

16p 1st August and then Three Monthly with 2 months notice August November, February. May based on installations

 

[pcollins]

Ooo, apparently we need to bring down installation costs

He failed to change my mind. i still want to smack him.

 

[SRE]

Driving installation costs down - has he been certified!!!!!!! We're close to going bust already
