Tesco shelves solar power plans

The UK’s largest retailer Tesco has announced that, for the time being, it will be shelving plans to install solar panels on a number of its distribution centres after the government announced possible subsidy changes. If a review of subsidies does affect the feed-in tariff on projects producing more than 50kW, then Tesco’s plans to install banks of panels producing 1MW could prove to be uneconomical.
