Feed-In Tariffs Making sunlight a cash crop


[attachment=43519]

Feed-In Tariffs - how to benefit

Feed-In Tariffs (FITs) - the fundamentals
Tariff levels for PV
Who gets the cash & where it comes from
How to ensure FITs work for your farm

The Generation Tariff

Paid for every kWh generated;
whether used by the system owner
or exported back to the grid
Level depends on:
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

The Export Tariff

For every kWh exported to the grid
The beneficiary gets the generation tariff
Plus a premium for export, as follows
A fixed rate of 3p/kWh has been set
But you can opt out and negotiate
a better price from an electricity supplier
Opt-out decisions can be made each year
