Lily Allen in sustainably-built studio

Lily Allen is backing the call for changes to the Energy Bill to give homeowners and businesses an incentive to install solar panels, after working at a sustainably built studio.

Allen, who has worked at the solar-powered The Premises recording studio in Hackney, east London, said:

"Having worked at The Premises solar powered recording studio, I have experienced 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!"

Studio A at The Premises is the only solar-powered studio in Europe and uses 18 photovoltaic panels to provide electricity.

Meanwhile Julia Craik managing director of The Premises said: "With more Government action there could be far more solar powered businesses like The Premises Studios and many households would want to generate their own renewable energy. Then the move to be green, that is now an imperative, will have turned a huge corner."
