Solar subsidy cuts: government offers compromise

Andy Atkins, the executive director of Friends of the Earth – one of the three parties to take legal action against the government over the cuts – said: "At last the government is taking steps to sort out some of the uncertainty that's crippling a thriving UK industry – planned cuts will at last allow solar firms to start planning for the future. Solar payments should be cut in line with falling costs – but by trying to rush through payment before the consultation closed ministers created a shambolic mess that threatens 30,000 jobs and the future of the industry."
