Latest on the Feed-in Tariff Court Case
The Court of Appeal has just confirmed that they have rejected the Government appeal to overturn the High Court ruling. The basis of the Court of Appeal ruling was that under the Energy Act 2008 the Government does not have the power to change the feed-in tariff rates retrospectively, and therefore any change must come after the process of consultation and then Parliamentary Procedure taking 40 days.

The Government loses Feed-in Tariff Appeal
The solar panel revolution resumes as it looks likely that the higher feed-in tariff rates will apply to all solar systems installed before the 3rd March 2012!
The Court of Appeal has insisted today that DECC’s decision to cut the tariffs before the end of its official consultation period was unlawful. This ruling will now stand despite the governments appeal.
What is both important and promising about this outcome is that it means the Government cannot retrospectively change feed-in tariff contracts.
