Lily Allen Backs Rewards Scheme For 'Green Homes'

Lily Allen has given her backing to a new rewards scheme for homes and businesses that generate their own clean renewable energy.

The pop star, along with campaigners from Friends of the Earth, believe people should be given financial incentive for installing solar panels and other forms of renewable energy.

Along with members of Razorlight, Bloc Party and Hot Chip, Allen has spent time recording at The Premises studio in East London, which is powered by solar energy.

Allen said that working at the studio had allowed her to experience “how clean and green renewable energy is.”

“I fully support giving people a renewable energy reward for the power they generate. It's good to be green,” she added.

Campaigners want the Energy Bill to be amended so that energy companies are forced to give long-term contracts guaranteeing a premium price for all renewable energy generated by homes and businesses.
