U.K. Supreme Court refuses to consider appeal on solar subsidies

The U.K.’s Supreme Court refused to allow the government to backdate cuts in solar subsidies.

The court refused to consider an appeal by the government, which followed a ruling by the Court of Appeal preventing earlier-than-planned tariff cuts, according to an e-mailed statement from the court today.

The decision means the government can only reduce subsidies for solar-power projects from this month, rather than last December.
