1. FINANCIAL INCENTIVES: INVESTING FOR
THE FUTURE.

Understanding the potential of financial incentives can
prove vital when evaluating the economic viability and
feasibility of any business. Payments and tax exemptions
for electricity generation from renewable sources could

generation from renewable sources by 2020, a number
of financial incentive mechanisms were introduced to
encourage the uptake of renewable energy in the UK
(excluding Northern Ireland).
