Foreword
This month has seen a lot
of news about the UK’s renewable energy, with records tumbling, technologies
being proposed and tariff schemes undergoing change. As of the 31st of March, of this year, we have bid a fond farewell to the UK’s Renewable
Obligation. Since 2002, this scheme has been a source of income for renewable
power generators through the sale of RO Certificates to larger generators, and
during that time the share of low-carbon energy generation in the UK has
increased........
