Reminder of changes to Feed-in Tariffs from 1 April

  • New FITs tariffs for solar installations up to 250kW for those with an eligibility date on or after 3 March 2012
  • Minimum energy efficiency requirement for properties installing solar panels to obtain the highest level of FIT payment
  • New solar PV multi installation tariff rate

DECC is introducing a range of changes to the FITs scheme to come into effect on 1 April 2012 following a consultation at the end of last year.  The changes will help ensure that current tariff levels for solar PV are more closely matched to installation costs, and that solar PV is considered as part of a whole-house approach to saving energy and carbon.

Energy and Climate Change Minister Greg Barker said: “These changes will help improve the Feed-in Tariffs scheme, ensuring it is a scheme for the many and not for the few.  I am currently looking at how it can be further improved to offer certainty for householders, communities and industry and would welcome thoughts on our proposals.
