The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has slightly amended its government response and decisions document on the Feed-in Tariffs to clarify the eligibility of early investors for the Clean Energy Cashback Scheme.
After confusion around who qualifies for the tariffs, DECC has announced that microgenerators (under 50kW) which were not accredited under the Renewables Obligation (RO) will be able to obtain FiTs at the RO transfer rate if they apply for the RO before March 31 2010. Previously, these projects were not eligible for any FiT payments.
DECC's website details which sections of the final consultation document have been amended and states: "We apologise for any confusion that has arisen due to this error". The amendment means early installers of microgeneration equipment now have the opportunity to receive 9p/kWh of electricity generated.
