UK Government proposed changes to solar PV Feed-in-Tariffs
The UK Government is proposing to reduce Feed-in Tariffs (FITs) for new solar
photovoltaic (PV) installations as part of their comprehensive review
consultation. See www.decc.gov.uk/fits
If you install solar PV and your FITs application is received by your FIT supplier (also known as FIT Licensee) on or after 12 December 2011, you could be affected by the proposals.
Please note that these proposals are currently under consultation and are
therefore not final. However, the Energy Saving Trust recommend customers should use the figures in the consultation if they are planning to install after 12 December 2011. Only solar PV systems are covered by the UK Government’s current FITs consultation.
Other FIT-eligible technologies will be considered as part of the second phase
of the comprehensive review due to be published shortly. For more information see :
