Why is the Government introducing the Feed-in tariff?
The Government wants to build the market for clean energy. The Feed-in tariff is an incentive for households, businesses, local authorities, farmers and landlords to start generating their own energy, which allows them to protect themselves against future price rises of fossil fuels, cut carbon emissions and receive payment for the low-carbon energy they produce. By doing so, they are investing in a low-carbon economy for the future.
