DECC FiT Announcement

noreply@blogger.com (Renewable Dan) — Thu, 24 May 2012 12:24:00 +0000

Greg Barker Minister of State for DECC has just announced its plans to put the Feed-in Tariffs (FITs) scheme on a more predictable, certain and sustainable footing for householders, businesses and the solar industry.

Ministerial Statement in the House of Commons at 12:28 pm.
“Today starts a new and exciting chapter for the solar industry. The sector has been through a difficult time, adjusting to the reality of sharply falling costs, but the reforms we are introducing today provide a strong, sustainable foundation for growth for the solar sector. We can now look with confidence to a future for solar which will see it go from a small cottage industry, anticipated under the previous scheme, to playing a significant part in Britain's clean energy economy. I want to send a very clear message today. UK solar continues to be an attractive proposition for many consumers considering microgeneration technologies and that having placed the subsidy support for this technology on a long-term, sustainable footing, industry can plan for growth with confidence. Following detailed consultation with industry and consumers, the Government is introducing a range of changes to the FITs scheme with effect from 1 August to provide better value for money and allow businesses and householders to plan with confidence. This is good news for the industry and for consumers and will ensure that as many people as possible benefit.

Today’s announcement at a glance:
Tariffs for solar PV installations to be reduced from 1 August:

16p/kWh for household scale solar PV installations to reflect fall in cost of the technology, delivering a return of about 6% for a typical installation.
Tariffs for larger installations also to be reduced to reflect cost reductions but with most tariff cuts lower than proposed in February.
Reductions to apply to new installations from 1 August, instead of 1 July as proposed, in recognition of low uptake from 1 April and providing time for industry to adapt.

Multi installation tariff increased to 90% of standard tariff

Organisations with more than 25 solar PV installations will get 90% of the standard applicable tariff, increased from 80%, reflecting new evidence on costs involved for these projects.

Reduction in tariffs over time in line with uptake of FITs scheme

Ensuring solar PV is not over subsidised.
Average tariff reductions of 3.5% every 3 months, reductions will be bigger (up to 28%) if there is rapid uptake.
Tariff cuts will be skipped (for up to 2 quarters) if uptake is low.
Uptake in 3 different bands (domestic (size 0-10kW), small commercial (10-50kW) and large commercial (above 50kW and standalone installations) will determine the quarterly reductions within those bands.

Increase export tariff from 3.2p to 4.5p/kWh

To better reflect the real value of electricity exported to the grid.

RPI index-linking of generation tariffs to be retained

Reflecting the high value investors place on this element of the FITs scheme.

Scheme lifetime reduced from 25 to 20 years for new solar installations

Reducing the lifetime costs of the scheme and bring solar in line with most other technologies supported under FITs.

Tariffs for installations which do not meet the energy efficiency requirements will mirror the tariffs for standalone installations

Ensuring energy efficiency is still encouraged as tariffs are reduced.

More to follow later today.

Developing News: DECC Consider FiT extenstion

noreply@blogger.com (Renewable Dan) — Thu, 17 May 2012 22:41:00 +0000

Developing News: DECC Consider FiT extension:

It's looking like the UK feed-in tariffs will stay at their current level for at least the next 6 weeks, as government plan to extend the reduction deadline by up to a month. Here is what Solar Power Portal's Emma Hughes had to say on the matter:

"Last night, Climate Change Minister Greg Barker confirmed industry rumours that the tariff cuts could be delayed. "Having listened carefully to industry, we are looking at scope for pushing back a little the next proposed reduction in solar feed-in tariffs," he posted on Twitter.

Speaking with the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) this morning, the Solar Power Portal was told that what the Minister has Tweeted in true, and that we can expect the deadline to be moved.

“We have listened carefully to the solar industry and are considering moving the date of the feed-in tariff changes as a result of concerns,” explained a DECC spokesperson.

DECC also confirmed that an official announcement on this will be published shortly along with the results of the feed-in tariff consultation. “We know everyone is keen to see this, so we are working to publish [the consultation] as soon as possible,” the spokesperson continued.

Contrary to reports that the delay is due to Government missing the deadline for announcing the cuts before July 1, DECC has confirmed that it has intentionally held off on publishing the consultation document due to the low installation rates. It has therefore made the decision to move the cut date back.

This news follows the UK trade association’s calls to bring a stop the tariff reductions.

“We are facing an unusual set of challenges right now and it is fundamentally a problem of confidence and perception,” explained Alan Aldridge, the STA Chairman. “We need all champions of solar – in Government, industry and elsewhere – to help us get the message out that solar is still a great investment, particularly with energy bills on the rise again.

“But we also need Government to show real sensitivity to the current situation and work with us to create a stable and growing market.”

Leonie Greene, Head of External Affairs at the Renewable Energy Association commented on today’s news saying, “We’ve been making a case for a delay to the July cuts for a couple of weeks now, so we’re very pleased DECC has been listening to industry. Hopefully this will give industry a chance to kick-start the market.”

Howard Johns, spokesman for the Cut Don’t Kill campaign, said: “It doesn’t matter how we’ve got here – what’s important now is that the government does what’s right for the long term future of solar energy.

“For months the Cut Don’t Kill campaign has been warning that the Government is cutting too far and too fast in the solar sector. Panel installations are 50 percent down on a year ago and over 6,000 jobs have been lost in the industry since last summer. We take no pleasure in being proven right but hope the Government will now take the opportunity to implement solar policy that is sensible and sustainable.”

Earlier this week the British Photovoltaic Association (BPVA), the Micropower Council (MPC), the Renewable Energy Association (REA) and the Solar Trade Association (STA) came together in a bid to form a united front against the feed-in tariff fiasco in support of solar.

During DECC’s oral questions today, Ed Davey confirmed that changes to the solar FiT date “will be a tweak not a massive change.” Davey continued by reiterating that a FiT rate of 21p currently works, insisting that “the message must go out that the UK solar industry is back in business.”

DECC has been unable to confirm the exact timescale of the delay; but the cuts are expected to come into effect roughly one month later on August 1. A statement on this is also expected soon.

News Flash: UK Feed in Tariff cuts delayed by DECC!

noreply@blogger.com (Renewable Dan) — Thu, 17 May 2012 12:29:00 +0000

Sources from the BPVA have today indicated that the DECC (Department of Energy and Climate Change) plan to delay the latest round of feed-in tariff cuts scheduled for July 2012.

This announcement would be very positive news for the currently struggling and depleted UK Solar sector, and will prolong any possible opportunity for the public to financially benefit from the installation of solar panels to reduce their energy bills!

According to our sources Greg Barker MP Minister for DECC has confirmed, “Having listened carefully to industry, we are looking at scope for pushing back a little the next proposed reduction in the solar Feed in Tariff”. The DECC has also confirmed that an official announcement on this will be published shortly along with the results of the feed-in tariff consultation phase 2A.
