Greencoat UK Wind warns that proposed government changes to renewable energy subsidies could hike household energy bills. The fund argues that altering how support for wind and solar farms is calculated will make UK projects seem riskier, leading investors to demand higher returns. The concern stems from the Renewables Obligation, a subsidy mechanism that was closed to new projects in 2017 but still impacts consumer bills. The governments proposal to switch indexation from RPI to CPI is met with opposition, as Greencoat UK Wind believes it will erode investor confidence and increase the cost of new renewable energy projects for consumers.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
