The Department of Energy and Climate Change recntly launched consultations on Changes to Feed-in Tariff Accreditation and Changes to Financial Support for Solar PV.
Consultation on Changes to Financial Support for Solar PV
This consultation proposed to control the costs of new solar PV projects of 5MW and below accrediting under the Renewables Obligation (RO).
The EAUC has submitted a response to this consultation on behalf of members which can be downloaded here and the Government response to the consultation can be viewed here.
Consultation on Changes to Feed-in Tariff Accreditation
This consultation proposed removing pre-accreditation and pre-registration from the FIT scheme. This would have the effect of eliminating the link to the tariff guarantee for installations currently able to pre-accredit under FIT, such that installations would only receive the tariff rate as at the date they apply for full accreditation. This would mean that a developer would be uncertain of the level of support they would receive under the scheme until the point at which their application for accreditation is received by Ofgem.
The EAUC has submitted a response to this consultation on behalf of members which can be downloaded here.
The EAUC would like to thank Paul Riddlesden, Energy Manager at Durham University, who collated the responses from both surveys on behalf of EAUC Members.
