Proceeding contribution from Baroness Parminter (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 31 October 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Energy: Feed-in Tariffs.
Energy: Feed-in Tariffs
My Lords, given that the coalition agreement includes a strong commitment to encouraging community ownership of renewable energy projects, what advice can the Minister give to the community energy co-operatives around the country? I am aware of three in my area that have live share offers at this moment. It is now unclear whether their proposed projects remain viable. Should they continue to solicit funds? Does the Minister recognise, as I do, that further reductions of the feed-in tariffs for installations at more than one site—which, I understand, were put in in order to get rid of the ““rent a roof”” schemes—actually threaten community projects that cover more than one site, such as local hospitals in Warwickshire or local schools in my area in Wey Valley?
