Through the new campaign, known as People Power, the two renewables industry bodies are calling the public as well as the renewable energy employees to petition the UK Government for providing steady support for the maturing sectors.

The agencies are calling people to use social media and by writing to the local Members of Parliament.

In July, the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has announced new measures to cut subsidies of small scale solar and biomass power plants, to lower energy bills.

The government expects the measures to provide better control over spending as well as ensure best possible deal for bill payers to support a low-carbon economy.

The trade bodies, however, said that the proposed plan could halt huge number of renewable energy projects, which in turn would affect jobs.

The potential changes would also result in reduced access to home-grown electricity for ordinary households, farmers and small businesses.

RenewableUK Consents and Intelligence director of Policy Gemma Grimes said: "This campaign is about sending a simple message to Government: don’t wreck an industry, which for the first time has given people the power to control their own energy supply.

"Small-scale renewables is an extraordinary success in the UK, creating thousands of new green jobs and allowing local communities to generate their own clean energy.

"The Feed-In Tariff provides a lifeline to the rural economy, allowing farmers and small businesses to diversify their income and save on their electricity bills, especially during tough economic times. The Government’s actions are in danger of consigning this great work to the past."

Recently, Scotland has announced its decision to retain Renewables Obligation (RO) guarantees for solar investments in the country, in contrast to the UK proposal.
