feed in tariff

Octopus Energy has increased its export tariffs by 36%, as energy prices in the UK remain at record highs.

A Guarantee Scheme, financial support and options for surplus energy would all boost domestic solar uptake.

A grant scheme funded through solar feed-in tariffs has been launched by energy supplier Centrica.

Ed Miliband has been revealed as the new shadow energy secretary, marking a return to the role for the ex-Labour leader.

Community energy projects have been given a six month extension to complete and register feed-in tariff (FiT) projects due to ongoing challenges caused by COVID-19.

Solar Power Portal caught up with Emma Bridge to talk about how the market has changed since the end of the FiT, the delays projects are facing due to COVID-19 (coronavirus) and whether subsidy-free is a reality for community solar.

The UK’s solar capacity would need to nearly triple to 35GW to decarbonise by 2030, a report into the fastest path to decarbonisation over the next decade has found.

BEIS will intervene if suppliers fail to come forward with a Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) tariff come January, a spokesperson for the department said this week.

Community solar has faced its toughest year yet, according to a new report, detailing how new generation capacity fell in 2018.

The policy gap between the feed-in tariff (FiT) and the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) is set to close by the end of 2019, guaranteeing payment for excess domestic solar generation.
