Nice to read that Ed Miliband is to bring in feed-in tariffs for small scale renewables. A year ago I had a correspondence with David (an official, not Ed's brother)at BERR, and he wrote
"a feed-in tariff is not appropriate for our liberalised energy market structure.
I replied:
"Since feed-in tariffs are roughly 100 times more successful than the UK system, and since the overarching imperative is that we must move from carbon to renewables, if the liberalised energy market structure is the block, then it logically follows that the liberalised energy market structure must either be replaced, or must adapt itself so that it can support a feed in tariff.
Correct me if there is a fault in my logic".
He never did write to correct the logic, so we can infer that the liberalised energy market structure must have given ground.
Which is good.
