Huhne overturns ban on local authorities selling green power

Climate change secretary Chris Huhne confirmed that from 12 August local authorities will be able to sell renewable electricity back to the national grid. He said the change will enable councils to raise funds through feed-in tariffs, while boosting renewable generation. Separately, the Local Government Association published a report predicting that council-owned wind turbines and solar panels could bring annual revenues of £100mn.
