UK Renewable Energy Feed in Tariff

The new Feed in Tariff (FiT) is a financial subsidy for renewable electricity generators below 5MW. It offers a payment per kWh produced each year. This payment varies depending on the technology and size of generation. It replaces the Renewables Obligation Certificate scheme for eligible generators under 50kW.  Generators between 50kW and 5MW will have the option of choosing either the FiT or the existing ROC arrangement.

Community Energy Scotland has produced a brief summary of some of the main points in the document here. 

However before making any project decisions, community ogroups who are developing, or planning to develop, renewable energy projects should always refer to the main document on the Department of Energy and Climate Change website
