feed-in tariff

Energy supplier Good Energy is launching a new smart export product for its Feed-in-Tariff (FiT) customers.

The solar sector has criticised the introduction of a windfall tax on electricity generators, which it has warned could have a ‘perverse’ impact on the sector.

Good Energy Limited and F&S Energy Limited are set to pay a total of £800,000 in compensation to Feed-in-Tariff (FiT) customers.

Solar PV made up around 99.8% of all installations registered with the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) in its first fifteen months of operations.

As the Smart Export Guarantee turns a year old, Solar Power Portal takes a look back at how it came to be and what the last year has been like under the scheme.

UK based smart energy technology provider Social Energy has expanded into Australia with a new solar and storage offer in its first step outside its home market.

Solar projects have been granted a further six months to complete and register under the feed-in tariff (FiT) scheme due to the long-lasting impacts of COVID-19.

The Labour party has launched its Warm Homes for All initiative, which would see a wide scale rollout of renewables and low carbon technologies such as solar PV.

Almost 242.5MW of solar was installed under the feed-in tariff in Q1 2019, representing a significant surge as the scheme was shuttered for good.

As the tariff and potentially export payment regimes comes to an end, never before has it been more important to look at alternative means to ensure rooftop solar continues to play a part in national decarbonisation. However, international comparisons raised at an event yesterday demonstrate how more needs to be done to move the conversation on from tariffs to planning, with the government far from off the hook.
