Not the full list of tariffs. Only those most relevant to domestic properties.
FITs– effects and issues
• Enquiries to the Energy Saving Trust advice centre about renewable energy have doubled since January
• Number of local MCS accredited companies up by 50%
• RHI consultation• LCBP grants ceased• Change of government
Supply chain initiative
• Analysis of the market• Likely demand• Supply capability• Manufacturers
NERA
• Local supply chain alliance to:• Increase competitiveness• Increase delivery capability• Improve economies of scale• Share resources• Increase visibility and market presence• Voice of industry.
