Feed-in Tariff – can you benefit? - Camden Council

Camden Council is helping residents, businesses and community groups find out how they can tackle climate change while getting paid to produce their own electricity.

Through the national Feed-in Tariff (FiT) scheme energy suppliers have to make regular payments to residents and businesses that generate their own electricity from renewable sources such as solar photovoltaic panels.  Despite recent Government proposals seeking to limit FiT for commercial scale “solar farms”, FiT benefits will remain for the vast majority of Camden residents.

Camden Council is holding an information event for anyone in the borough who wants to find out more on Wednesday 13 April from 5.30 to 7.30 pm at the German Gymnasium at 26 St Pancras Road, Kings Cross.

There will be the opportunity to:

* Get an overview on how installing renewable energy and the Feed-in Tariff can be of benefit
* Get the latest news on Government plans for the future of the Feed-in Tariff
* Meet some of the suppliers who work locally
* Get face-to-face advice from Camden Council, The Energy Saving Trust and The Carbon Trust.

Camden Council’s Cabinet Member for Sustainability and Deputy Leader Cllr Angela Mason said: “A large part of the Council’s commitment to tackling climate change is about empowering residents, businesses and community groups with information and advice on how they can make changes – both big and small – to reduce their carbon emissions. FiT is just one of a whole host of actions that could help in our journey to make our borough greener.”

This event is open to all businesses, residents and community groups in Camden but places are limited. Register in advance at betterclimateforcamden.org or by email betterclimate@camden.gov.uk
