The government has announced that it will maintain the current level of funds to the energy-from-waste industry through the Feed-in Tariff (FiT) scheme.
Chancellor George Osborne confirmed yesterday (20th October) that the government would continue to provide the same amount of funds to those who produce or adopt renewable energy services until 2013.
Juliet Davenport, chief executive of Good Energy, claimed the organisation welcomed the decision to maintain the FiT levels.
She said: "These tariffs are essential in driving renewable energy generation amongst consumers and businesses.
"FiT has a vital role to play in reaching the government's commitment to achieving at least a third of energy generation from renewable energy by 2020."
Before the Comprehensive Spending Review was announced, there were concerns that the FiT could be cut by ten per cent as part of the austerity measures.
This would have sparked legal challenges from renewable energy generators, with the government previously guaranteeing it would not be altered until 2013.
