Merton Rule U turn will 'knock the confidence of investors'

Micropower Council's CEO Dave Sowden comments on proposed changes to the Merton rule






7th September 2007

“The government’s Microgeneration Strategy emphasised the success of the Merton Rule and was critical in building confidence that government wished to see a vibrant microgeneration industry making its full contribution to tackling climate change. The Merton Rule was strongly championed by Yvette Cooper to the House of Commons – any suggestion of a U-turn in this important policy is likely to knock the confidence of investors and seriously call in to question both the government’s political commitment to this sector, as well whether it has fulfilled its legal duty to implement the Microgeneration Strategy”.
