Renewables delivery under attack

The UK government's record on delivering renewable energy is under attack.

Energy regulator, Ofgem, says the main mechanism for delivering green energy to the national grid is not working.

It also told BBC Radio 4's Costing The Earth programme that it believes the government is not listening to its calls for change.

One leading industry figure says he regrets getting involved in the UK industry because of red tape.

Only Luxembourg and Malta have a worse record compared with Britain, which since 1990 has only increased its renewable energy by about 1%. In contrast, Germany has been able to add this amount in one year.
