Horticultural Society – Chairman’s Report

Posted in 2011, People, Posts of Note, Societies on Saturday November 5, 2011| 1 Comment »

CHAIRMANS REPORT 2011
The last year has been yet another good one for the Horticultural Society. It has been difficult deciding in what direction to steer the Society but I feel we have weathered the last 2 years and are being as well supported by our members as we were in the past.

Entries were higher this year in the childrens show and there were some fabulous animals produced from fruit and vegetables. The main show was as unpredictable as ever and entries were affected by a wet summer and by many of us being at the Strong Man event the day before. However the auction was as popular as ever as the crowd were encouraged by the auctioneer, Mr Robert Bunting, to part with vast sums of money for superb produce.

Open Gardens was another great success and as usual the village rallied round to help us with the organisation. As a Thank-You to our Garden Openers we held a buffet reception on the Sunday evening and it was lovely to see everyone there. (more…)

UK Government proposed changes to solar PV Feed-in-Tariffs

Posted in 2011, Posts of Note, Sustainability on Tuesday November 1, 2011| Leave a Comment »

In August I wrote a detailed article about sustainability, giving all the renewable energy options available to us. Yesterday the government announced major new proposals to the Feed in Tariffs that will affect the cost effectiveness of PV panel.

Under the proposals, the new tariffs would apply to all new eligible solar PV installations installed on or after 12 December 2011. These installations would receive the current tariff of 43.3p before moving to the lower tariffs, 21p, on 1 April 2012.

Consumers who already receive a FIT will see their existing payments unchanged, and those with an eligibility date on or before 11 December 2011 will receive the current rate.

The table below compares typical income and savings made for an average sized solar PV system in the UK based on the Energy Saving Trust’s website.

FIT Rates Total annual earnings and savings with a 2.9kW system
 Simple payback (years)
Current – higher tariff 43.3p/kWh £1,190 11
Proposed – lower tariff 21p/kWh £640 20


Please note that these proposals are currently under consultation and are therefore not final. However, the Energy Savings Trust recommend customers should use the figures in the consultation if they are planning to install after 12 December 2011.
