Tend to agree with you moggy
In my first post, suggested introduction of Export meters for existing customers at reasonable cost (not an obstructive one). Last post is still based on deeming at 50%.
I think Barker is a bit of an enigma as to where he really stands on SSEG and solar. Within the big picture, the lack of a cohesive Energy Policy within the UK does not help. There are a lot of competing pressures and the invidious influence of the big 6 with their embedded presence in DECC is detrimental to anything that is not in their interests. We do face a problem of what appears to be a lack of political will to deal with the big 6. They threaten energy shortages at every turn if they do not get their own way. I believe the time will come when people will view the scandal of what is happening in DECC in the same light as phone hacking/News of The World/Rupert Murdoch and undue political influence. However, by the time everyone is saying I told you so, it will be too late for us.
We need to continue to make as much noise as we can and create as much political discomfort as possible. This is what has got us the meagre scraps we have left in FITs. If you believe in the industry and want it to have a future, we have to fight on, what ever the odds.
