Solar energy farmers left in the dark

IFA Renewables Project Team Chairman James Murphy says that farmers need solar energy clarity from Government.

More than 20,000 acres are now under some form of a solar energy contract, but farmers still do not have clarity from Government on basic questions such as financial support that will be available through the REFIT tariff, according to IFA Renewables Project Team Chairman James Murphy.

“It is wrong of Government to allow this flux to continue,” he warned.
