Feed-in Tariffs for the United Kingdom: Accelerating the Transition to a Low Carbon Economy

Location: NYC ACRE, Steelcase Room, 160 Varick Street, 12th Floor, Manhattan.

Space is limited. Please RSVP to NYUKTI-RSVP@fco.gov.uk

On April 1, 2010, the United Kingdom will launch a new feed-in tariff policy, providing an additional boost to its advanced clean energy market. As the first country in the world to make carbon reduction targets legally binding, the United Kingdom has nearly a decade’s experience implementing its strategic commitment to a low carbon economy.

Now, with the introduction of feed-in tariffs for small scale renewable electricity generation, the UK has established a financial framework to drive investment and stimulate clean energy adoption on a much broader scale. Under the scheme, many UK households, communities and businesses will become eligible to receive guaranteed payment – “clean energy cashback” – for the low carbon electricity they generate from wind, solar PV, hydro, and new anaerobic digestion installations. It is expected that by 2020 the scheme will support over 750,000 small scale low carbon electricity installations and will have saved 7 million tons of carbon dioxide.

Keynote presentation by:

Moderated by Jonathan McClelland, President, New York Association for Energy Economics
