This year, our government sadly made the decision to drastically cut subsidies for renewable energy, destabilizing the sector and increasing dependence on large scale energy suppliers and fossil fuels. It’s a regressive move that we feel is both misguided and dangerous.
Alongside many individuals and other companies like Ecotricity and The Energy Workshop, we’ve made a significant contribution to the Energy Bill Facts campaign that has crowd-funded £15,000, to commission independent fact checking organization Full Fact to thoroughly review the government’s claims used to justify the new energy bill. The report should be ready in a few weeks and you can follow progress on their WordPress site at Energy Bill Facts.
