A minimum price paid for the export of electricity from domestic renewables
We have a pricing cap on the cost of gas/electricity, why do we not have a minimum price set by the government for electricity generated by solar panels or other home renewables. It’s not fair we are getting paid a paltry 2p or 3.5p per kWh when the energy companies will be selling it for 20p to 30p
To get a fairer return on people choosing to install home renewables and battery systems. We don’t want the feed in tariff prices back but a fair price that is reviewed like the energy cap. Take for instance the price for nuclear is around 9p per kWh at Hinckley. A fairer price would encourage people to invest in home renewables and reduce the overall carbon footprint of households.

The rate paid to people using the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) are set by electricity suppliers (SEG Licencees), not the Government or Parliament.
