CLA Cymru is highlighting the role of landowners in helping to mitigate climate change through investment in renewable energy projects at the Pembrokeshire Show this week.
A seminar with CLA Renewable Energy Adviser Tom Beeley will take place at the show to help advise landowners on how they can continue to support renewable energy development in light of recent changes to renewable energy subsidies.
The Department for Energy & Climate Change launched a consultation last month proposing to remove the ability for well developed, but not yet commissioned, renewable energy projects to secure the level of subsidy they will receive through Feed in Tariffs (FiT) once the project becomes operational, a process referred to as pre accreditation.
CLA Cymru Director Rebecca Williams said: “Landowners have a big role to play in mitigating climate change through renewable energy projects. The changes proposed last month will act as a deterrent to the development of technology which has not yet reached its full potential and the Government must amend its final proposal to prevent this from being the case.”
The seminar with CLA Renewable Energy Adviser Tom Beeley will take place at 10:30am on 20 August 2015 at the Pembrokeshire Show. The CLA Cymru team will also be at the CLA marquee on Bank avenue during the show for more information.
