Feed-in Tariff factsheet

2

The Feed-in Tariff (FIT) scheme is

a government initiative that pays

householders and businesses to generate

their own energy from renewable sources.

The FIT scheme makes it more financially

viable for householders and businesses

to buy and install a renewable energy

generator, such as solar photovoltaic

(PV) panels or a wind turbine.

Qualifying generators will be eligible to receive a

set payment rate for every unit (kWh) of electricity

produced, even if this electricity is used on site.

Additional export payments may also apply.

Payment rates for both generated and exported

electricity are fixed (and Retail Price Index adjusted

each year), and for solar PV, generation rates apply

for up to 20 years. This gives anyone participating in

the scheme the security of a long-term market for

the electricity they produce.

The benefits of Feed-in Tariffs

As well as receiving FIT payments, there are other

important reasons why you should consider installing

a renewable energy generator.

• Research has shown that property buyers are willing

to pay more for a property that has been fitted with

a renewable energy generator.*

• DECC have designed the tariffs so that it is possible to

recoup the entire cost of buying and installing eligible

generators and potentially make a profit.

• You could make a valuable contribution to reducing

carbon emissions, helping to protect our environment.

• Your electricity bills should be reduced because

you’re likely to need to buy less electricity from

your energy supplier.

Feed-in Tariff elements

Generation paymentYou’ll receive a generation payment for every kWh

of electricity you generate, whether you use it

yourself or export it to the Electricity Network.

The rate per kWh varies depending on factors, such

as the generator type and size. To provide investor

certainty, Generation Tariff rates are largely fixed

throughout the duration of your FIT agreement; but

will move in line with the Retail Prices Index (RPI) to

ensure inflation is taken into account.

See the table to the right for an overview of the

current rates and tariff lifetimes. These rates

should apply until 31 March 2014 when the next RPI

changes come into effect, however the government

may revise prices before then.

Export paymentFor all eligible generators connected to the

Electricity Network, an export payment,

currently fixed at 4.5p per kWh will be available.

Although this rate is fixed (and RPI adjusted) again

the Government has reserved the right to change

the export rate should they consider it

appropriate to do so. Export payments are

made in addition to the generation payment.

NB: If your generator is ‘off-grid’, you won’t

be able to export electricity and so will not

be eligible to receive export payments.

How much could you be paid?Take a look at the diagram below to see how

much a typical household could receive in FIT

payments. This is an illustrative example only,

and is based upon solar PV panels with an

installed capacity of 4kW or less, fitted to an older

property (ie not installed as part of a new build).

Meters, meter readings and paymentsTo qualify for the FIT scheme, you must have an

approved generation meter fitted to measure how

much electricity you’re generating.

If you’re exporting electricity to the Electricity Network,

you may also need an approved export meter fitted.

• If your generator has an installed capacity greater

than 30kW, it is mandatory that you have an export

meter fitted to measure the amount of electricity

being exported to the Electricity Network. If you do

not already have an export meter, we can arrange

for one to be fitted.*

• If your generator has an installed capacity of 30kW

or below, you do not need an export meter as we’ll

deem (or estimate) your export amount based upon

50% of your total generation (75% for hydro).

You’ll need to supply us with quarterly readings

from your relevant meters so that we can calculate

your FIT payments. We’ll then pay these into your

nominated bank account when due.

We can supply and install both generation and

export meters*, so please contact us for details.

Eligibility for FIT payments

If your renewable energy generator was installed

after 1 April 2010, the key rules for qualification are

that your generator must:

• have an installed electrical capacity of 5MW or less

(2kW or less for domestic scale micro CHP units)

• be one of five approved types:

• Anaerobic digestion

• Solar PV

• Wind

• Hydro

• Domestic scale micro CHP units

(with a capacity of 2kW or less).

• have appropriate accreditation in place

• Generators with an electrical capacity of

50kW or less (other than anaerobic digestion)

must be appropriately accredited under the

Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS).

If you’re unsure if your device is MCS accredited,

please check with your installer.

• Generators with an electrical capacity above

50kW up to and including 5MW (and anaerobic

digestion) must be accredited under the

Renewables Obligation Order (ROO) FIT process.

If your generator is not currently accredited,

please contact Ofgem for further advice.

• have an approved generation meter. If you don’t

already have one, we can arrange for one to be

fitted as part of your application*.

• be connected to the Electricity Network to claim

FIT export payments. If your installed electrical

capacity is above 30kW in size, you must also

have an appropriate export meter to measure

the amount of electricity being exported.

• not be registered to receive FIT generation

payments from more than one energy supplier.

• not be registered to claim ROCs at the same time

as any FIT payments.

• comply with eligibility requirements where grants

have been issued.

• from 1 April 2012 obtain an EPC level D certificate to

ensure higher generation rate are paid for PV

installations below 250kWh.

If your renewable energy generator was installed

prior to 1 April 2010, please contact us to find out

if you’re eligible.

And finally when you complete your application

please ensure the following are included:

• Proof of ID

• Proof of ownership

• valid Start Reading

• evidence of rights to generate (if relevant)

• generator accreditation if 50kW and below

• EPC certificate

• appropriate solar PV declaration

Failure to do this will result in your application being

invalid.

Frequently asked questions

What are FIT payments based on? The Government

sets minimum FIT rates which are priced to offer around

a 5-8% return on your investment, based on average

calculations for an appropriately located generator.

As an illustrative example only, if you’ve spent £10,000

on FIT-eligible solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, you can

typically expect to receive between £500 and £800 a

year in FIT-related ‘benefit’ (this benefit includes typical

expected savings as a result of reduced electricity bills

due to generating and consuming electricity on site).

How do I define the date of commission of my technology? This is assumed to be the date on which

your generator was installed and confirmed to be

working (generating).

Can I claim Renewable Obligations Certificates (ROCs) at the same time as FIT payments? No. If you have a choice

between the two schemes, you must choose one only.

Note: Microgenerators (generation with an installed

electrical capacity of 50kW or less) from 1 April 2010, can

only register for the FIT scheme (not ROCs). Small-scale

generators with an installed electrical capacity above

50kW and not greater than 5MW who had applied under

the Renewables Obligation (RO) for ROCs, before 15 July

2009, will remain in the RO and will not be eligible to

transfer to the FIT scheme.

Can E.ON accredit my installation? No. With the exception

of anaerobic digestion, eligible microgeneration (with

an installed electrical capacity of 50kW and below) and

installed after 1 April 2010 must be accredited under

the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS).

Generators with an installed capacity of more than

50kW and anaerobic digestion must be accredited

under the Renewables Obligation Order (ROO-FIT

accreditation) as administered by Ofgem. Please

see back page for contact details.

What happens if I have more than one eligible generator on a single site? If each different type of

eligible generator has an installed electrical capacity

not exceeding 5MW (2kW or less for domestic scale

micro CHP), you’ll be able to receive FIT payments

for each of your eligible generators.

Will my electricity Direct Debit payment go down? The amount won’t change just because you’ve signed

up to the FIT scheme. But if you start buying less

electricity, your Direct Debits should be adjusted

when your payment amount is periodically reviewed.

Do I need to be on a green energy tariff to qualify for the FIT scheme? No, you can be on any type

of energy tariff.

As I’m getting paid for exporting electricity, is it in my interests to export everything I generate? Typically, no. The FIT scheme is designed to encourage

efficient use of the electricity you generate on site.

This should reduce the amount of electricity you need

to buy from your energy supplier, resulting in lower bills.

Improving energy efficiency should enable you to export

more ‘surplus’ electricity to the Electricity Network. Fixed

FIT export payments will attract a payment of 3p/kWh.

Will I be taxed on the generation and export payments I receive? Householders will not be taxed on the payments

they receive. Businesses and corporations should check

their tax liability with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).

Are generation and export payments inflation-linked? Yes. Payment levels will be adjusted every year in line

with the Retail Price Index (RPI).

Will you read my meters? You’ll need to read your

generation and export meters quarterly and submit

the readings to us. However, we’ll periodically read

these meters for audit purposes. Your import meter

will continue to be read as normal.

What happens if I move house or business premises? You can agree change of ownership of your generator

as part of your property sale.

Can landlords claim FIT payments for generators at tenants’ properties? Yes. If you’re a landlord installing

FIT-eligible generation at your property(s) you can claim

FIT payments. You’ll need to agree provision of these

meter reads with your tenants.

Can builders receive FIT payments if they install renewable energy generators at new properties? Under the Code for Sustainable Homes, builders can

claim FIT payments on new builds. The Government

sees this as a good way of helping builders meet the

costs of achieving Zero Carbon Buildings.
