Solar companies demand £2.2m in damages after feed-in tariff cuts
GUARDIAN - Three solar power companies have written to the government demanding £2.2m in damages which they say were caused by cuts in 2011 to the incentive scheme for solar, which resulted in a legal challenge that the government lost.
Last October, ahead of schedule, the coalition cut in half payments for the feed-in tariff scheme which pays generators of small-scale energy such as solar panels. The cut led to a near 90% drop in installations.
