Renewable energy policy in the UK: Problems and opportunities

Author

Listed:
  • Elliott, David

Abstract

The privatisation of the UK Electricity Supply industry in 1989/90 was expected to provide an opportunity for novel energy technologies to develop. This paper reviews the experience of renewable energy technologies, following the introduction, as part of the privatisation programme, of a cross subsidy system paid for by consumers designed to provide interim market support and stimulation for selected non-fossil fuel based technologies - as part of the so-called Non Fossil Fuel Obligation.
