Lisa Nandy MP, Labour’s Shadow Energy and Climate Secretary, reacting to big limits Ministers have placed on support for solar energy, said:

“These short-sighted cuts will place big limits on our solar industry and lead to job losses. These cuts stand in stark contrast to the generous handouts Ministers recently announced to dirty diesel generators.

“At a time when energy bills are a big concern it makes no sense to limit one of the cheapest forms of clean energy.”
