Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what representations she has received from the solar energy industry on the feed-in tariff subsidy for solar panels; and if she will make a statement.

We issued a public consultation on the FIT Review on 27^th August. The consultation will close on 23 October and we expect many responses from across the renewable energy industry, finance, Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and the general public.

Since then the Secretary of State has held meetings with the British Photovoltaic Association and the Solar Trade Association, and officials are planning a series of stakeholder events to be run across Great Britain, before the consultation ends.
