Feed in Tariff
The Feed-in Tariffs (FIT) scheme was a government programme designed to promote the uptake of renewable and low-carbon electricity generation technologies. Introduced in 2010, it closed on 31st March 2019 and required participating licensed electricity suppliers to make payments on both generation and export from eligible installations [1]. From 1st January 2020 it is replaced by The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)[2].
The FIT scheme is available for anyone who has installed, or is looking to install, one of the following technology types up to a capacity of 5MW, or 2kW for CHP:
- Solar photovoltaic (solar PV)
- Wind
- Micro combined heat and power (CHP)
- Hydro
- Anaerobic Digestion (AD)[1].
