Government solar policies may be on track to create more jobs by April 2012
New analysis by Engensa, one of the UK’s fastest-growing solar energy companies, believes that the UK’s Feed-in Tariff (FiT) will create 10,000 green jobs by April 2012. First introduced in April 2010 to support domestic alternative energy production, the policy is expected to create nearly 50,000 additional jobs by 2015 if kept at current levels, according to Engensa’s research. In addition, in the short term, the solar industry is generating more tax revenue for UK plc than is being paid out on the FiT: Engensa estimates up to £65m positive value in the period ending April 2012.
