  Energy Bill - Renewable energy feed-in tariff - rejected
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  
  The majority of MPs voted against requiring the Secretary of State to establish a ''renewable energy feed-in tariff'' that would have rewarded consumers for each kilowatt hour of energy exported back onto the public gas or electricity network from a renewable source.[1]
  
  The proposal[2] would have been included as part of the Energy Bill,[3] and resulted in a set of regulations being laid before Parliament within one year of the law being passed.
