Solar FITs Cuts Ruled Illegal - High Court Legal Action over Feed in Tariff

Cuts to the Solar PV FITs (Feed in Tariff) have been ruled illegal by the High Court after Legal Action brought by Friends of the Earth and solar PV companies.

The cuts to the Feed in Tariff would have seen the rates slashed from 43.3p per kWh to 21p as of April 2012 for installations after 12 December 2011 despite the consultation that the government initiated not finishing until 23 December.

It hardly seems surprising that this action has been ruled unlawful as cutting a rate while still consulting on it makes no sense at all as I had stated in my blog when the cuts were announced.
