Generating Business from the Feed in Tariff

Regen SW, in partnership with the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), is running a high level national conference on DECC’s consultation on introducing a Feed in Tariff (FIT) system to incen­tivise renewable electricity. This new incentive could dramatically in­crease the take-up of renewables, creat­ing new business opportunities for companies in retailing, manufacturing and finance as well as the energy sector.

Agenda

The agenda brings together key officials setting the policy with leading business people to cover:

· how the Feed in Tariff will work 

· the implications for the UK market

· opportunities created by the Feed in Tariff for organisations to cut costs, reduce carbon emissions and develop new markets
