"The Utilities Act 2000 gives the Secretary of State the power to
require electricity suppliers to supply a certain proportion of their
total sales in the United Kingdom from electricity generated from
renewable sources. A Renewables Obligation Order is issued annually
detailing the precise level of the obligation for the coming year-long
period of obligation and the level of the buy-out price. The Renewables
Obligation (England and Wales) was introduced by the Department of
Trade and Industry, the Renewables Obligation (Scotland) was
introduced by the Scottish Executives and the Northern Ireland
Renewables Obligation was introduced by the Department of Enterprise
Trade and Investment (DETINI). The Orders were subject to review in
2005/06 and new Orders came into effect on 1 April 2006. "


Ah, so it was the ****ing Labour Party giving money to big business for
doing not very much, then, eh?


Nice to know you don't believe in research being put into practice to
gather even more data.

Your favourite free market is only interested in things which make an
instant buck. This country even more than most.
