The Feed in Tariff
29 September, At-Bristol 9.00AM-16.00PM
Regen SW, in partnership with the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), is running a high level national conference on DECC’s consultation on introducing a Feed in Tariff (FIT) system to incentivise renewable electricity. This new incentive could dramatically increase the take-up of renewables, creating new business opportunities for companies in retailing, manufacturing and finance as well as the energy sector.
Alongside the Renewable Energy Strategy released on 15 July 2009, DECC issued a consultation on their proposals for the Feed in Tariff, which will commence in April 2010 - this conference will be an interactive event, giving delegates the opportunity to have their say and contribute to the consultation process, during a Q & A session with a panel of leading experts.
