It is good news that the Government is starting to encourage householders to fit micro generation facilitiues to their homes. It is good news that the feeder rates come with a 25 year gaurantee.

The only problem is the lack of political will to make sure that this really takes off with a generous feeder tarrif rate. At 36p it is a start but not good enough. The We Support Solar coalition was asking for a feeder rate of 46p and in my submission to the consultation I suggested it needed to be set at 50p.

This is better than nothing but will not drive the setp change that is really desired to make every house in the country a power generating source.

This could be funded by simply cancelling any money it has set aside to continued support of new nuclear power stations. Also money could then be found to help householders on low income take advantage of the scheme.
