The Generation Tariff
Paid for every kWh generated;

or exported back to the grid

The renewable energy technology
The capacity of the system
The date of installation
FIT Eligible technologies
Biogas from anaerobic digestion
Hydro-power
Solar photovoltaics
Retrofit in existing property
New-build (properties not yet occupied)
Stand-alone (systems for pure grid-feed)
Wind power
Micro-CHP (non renewable)
Ineligible installations
Other RES-E technologies:
Biomass, geothermal, tidal, wave, biofuel
Hopefully to be reconsidered on review
Systems over 5MW
Second-hand and refurbished systems
Pre 15th July ‘09 installations

Plus a premium for export, as follows
A fixed rate of 3p/kWh has been set
