The clock is ticking!

If you support the idea of a low carbon future please support the ‘10p on the solar power tariff’ campaign. If enough people write to their MP to request a stronger feed-in tariff, twenty five years of government policy could be changed for the better.

Simply ‘copy’ (ctrl + c) the suggested text below, or compose your own letter from the points below and those in the ‘what we want’ section of the FIT Update page. Then, enter your postcode in the box below and you will be taken to the specific page on ‘write to them’ where you can email your MP. Paste (ctrl + v) the text in there, add your address and hit ’send’.

Thanks in advance, please forward and share this page to your networks - together we can make a real difference.

The Government’s current feed-in tariff proposals for solar PV published in July represent a massive missed opportunity.

Under the proposals, in 2010 the UK will continue to fall further behind countries such as Belgium and the Czech Republic, where the solar power installation rate is already ten times that of the UK.

What we need is a feed-in tariff scheme from April 2010 that is really “fit for purpose”.

The We Support Solar campaign (www.wesupportsolar.net) is calling for at least another 10p on the solar PV tariffs when they are introduced next year. This would deliver:

• 28,000 UK skilled solar power jobs by 2014
• over 400,000 new residential solar PV installations by 2014
• additional investment in UK solar PV manufacturing building on established centres in Wrexham, South Wales and County Durham.

Will you add your voice to the We Support Solar ‘10p on the tariff’ campaign?

If yes, please write to Secretary of State Ed Miliband MP urging him to put in place a feed-in tariff scheme that really can deliver for solar PV. If you have not done so already please also sign Colin Challen MP’s EDM 689 welcoming the launch of the We Support Solar campaign and calling on Government to do more to support the potential of solar power in the UK.
