Feed in Tariff

The Feed in Tariff Scheme provides a generous guaranteed payment for electricity generated from a PV system.

The rates paid vary depending on the size of the system installed.

Feed in Tariff Rates
< 4kW 21p/kWh
> 4 – 10kW 16.8p/kWh
> 10 – 50kW 15.2p/kWh
> 50-250kW 12.9p/kWh

Please note that these tariff rates are for new installations from December 12th 2011 (subject to confirmation by DECC).  Installations between December 12th 2011 and April 1st 2012 will receive the current FIT rates (<4kW currently 41.3p/kWh)  during this period and then the new rates above from 1st April 2012.

From April 2012 properties will have to meet minimum energy efficiency standards in order to be eligible for the Feed in Tariffs at the above rates.

Please note that these new rates are currently going through a consultation process and are subject to change.

 

Benefits of the Feed in Tariff Scheme

  • The Feed in Tariff is paid on every unit you generate (even if you use the electricity!)
  • Linked to inflation
  • 25 year payment scheme
  • Tax free income for domestic customers

Upon completion of your PV installation we will help complete your Feed in Tariff application forms to send to your electricity supplier. Your electricity supplier will then pay you, generally every three months by direct debit.
