Understanding the FIT scheme

Ofgem, the energy regulator, has produced revised guidance on the feed-in tariffs scheme for renewable generators.

The new guide provides an overview of the scheme’s eligibility criteria and explains the process of seeking accreditation for installations that generate renewable electricity using solar photovoltaic, wind, hydro or anaerobic digestion technology and have a total installed capacity (TIC) of up to 5MW or is a fossil-fuel-derived combined heat and power installation with a TIC of up to 2kW.
