Friends of the Earth

"Friends of the Earth won against the odds to get a feed-in tariff introduced in the UK. This enables communities, schools and individuals to produce their own green power and become beacons of hope in their community. The fight continues as some in the Coalition Government seek to strangle this energy revolution at birth. But by working together on projects like energyshare, we can ensure that hope will prevail and the UK moves forward to a safer, clean energy future."

Zac Goldsmith, MP

"energyshare is exactly the kind of bold plan we need to take the clean energy revolution into communities around the country. Government policy on its own isn't enough. We need a mass movement, driven by people, and this campaign can deliver that."
