Government cannot appeal ruling that feed-in tariff cut was unlawful, says Supreme Court
Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type bool in /var/web/site/public_html/wp-content/themes/fh-master/blocks/content-content.php on line 87 Warning: Attempt to read property "slug" on null in /var/web/site/public_html/wp-content/themes/fh-master/blocks/content-content.php on line 87

Government does not have leave to appeal over Feed-in tariffs the Supreme Court ruled today. That means that the action, which has been on-going since December, is now over.

That means the original higher rate of 43.3p/kWh tariff that the department of energy and climate change tried to halve without a full length consultation from 12 December will be paid to all installations that were accredited by 3 March.

It could also see some firms attempt to seek compensation from government for loss of business.
