Fieldway Group - FIT Tables

As mentioned previously, the rate of the Generation tariff depends on the technology and the size of the system you have installed. This is how the tariff breaks down dependent on the technology and size.

Notes:

[*]: Installations registered in FIT Year 2 (1st April 2011 - 31st March 2012). These tariffs are index-linked for inflation. The Energy Regulator Ofgem will publish the updated tariff levels.

[**]: This tariff is available only for 30,000 micro-CHP installations, subject to a review when 12,000 units have been installed.

[***]: These terms are defined as follows:

'Retrofit' means installed on a building which is already occupied

'New Build' means where installed on a new building before first occupation

'Stand-alone' means not attached to a building and not wired to provide electricity to an occupied building

Measuring the energy

Because the tariff payments based on the kWh produced and exported, the energy generated needs to be measured. Three different meters need to be installed to read the three energy flows - generation, import and export.

You will already have an import meter which is used to calculate your energy bills. Some of these are capable of measuring export too, but this needs to be investigated. A generation meter will be provided with whichever MCS certified product you choose to have installed.

However, it's worth remembering that Smart Meters are soon to become universal and will be able to cope will all of your meter reading requirements.
