    Export electricity price

    Hi @Still Farming, Really easy. It takes 5 working days exactly to switch from one purchaser to another, and everything is handled by them in the background. If you'd like us to run a tender to determine who would be the most lucrative option for you going forward, feel free to send me an...

    Solar feed in tariff & switching electric supplier

    That is lower than current market value. Are they paying that as part of the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)? Is it solar you have? If so, it doesn't sound like a system of your size would justify the required metering upgrades in order to trade on the wholesale market. However, since your system...

    Solar feed in tariff & switching electric supplier

    Hi @Bruce Almighty They are 2 separate agreements, so you should be able to keep your FIT with BG and move your import supply over to Scottish Power, in the same way you can spit your export PPA agreement from your FIT processor. One thing to look out for however, is whether BG will implement...

    Solar export rate

    Hi RJ, Whilst the market has dropped considerably over the last 12-months, there will still be deals available above 5.5p. Most of our customers are tending to achieve around 2p to 3p above that. If you'd like me to run a tender on your behalf within our 20+ supplier network I'd be happy to...

    Export rates

    It usually depends on the supplier, some are currently trying to secure prices early to secure their baseload requirement, so we're getting offers for customers expiring in Q1 2024 if they want to explore options.

    Power Purchase Agreement

    Hi @albion man, I agree with ExFarmer that F&S have a fantastic customer service team, however at the minute they tend to be more competitive on wind than solar. If you want to send me a PM I can look at getting you some indicative prices from suppliers we find most competitive when it comes...

    Export rates

    It entirely depends on the system. Some suppliers favour wind, some solar, some AD. Every supplier has their own consumption thresholds, as well as other criteria such as whether or not there is self-consumption, or if the system is REGO accredited. The only true way to guarantee maximum revenue...

    Export prices

    Hi @AlfM, I'd be happy to look into this for you if you'd like me to complete a full market tender. With new installations such as your own, it may be the case that you'll have to go down the SSP route for the short term, usually 6-months does the trick, in order to build up some HH export...

    Solaredge Inverter issues

    Morning @steveR, We actually have an electrical engineering arm to Oakwood Energy if you would like us to take a look for you? To be completely honest, it's quite likely SolarEdge would put you on to us, as they recommend us for this kind of work all over the country, and you're not far from us...

    Export prices

    @Exfarmer is right, depending on variables such as technology, install capacity, geographical location and the term the contract covers, you're currently looking at anywhere between £100/MWh and £150/MWh.

    Importing Electricty quote

    Hi Jonny, This is likely due to Ofgem changes that occurred a couple of years ago. In years gone by grid usage charges were incorporated into the import contracts on a p/kWh basis, Ofgem then realised that there were generators exporting power to the grid without paying these maintenance...

    Export prices

    Hi @warksfarmer, We're currently achieving an average of around £125/MWh (12.5p/kWh) for our customers in the current market. There's obviously a lot of different factors that determine the price, giving quite a wide range of between £100/MWh and £145/MWh depending on circumstances, however...

    Turbine PPA quotes

    Installing Solar PV mostly for export, is it worth it?

    Thanks @Exfarmer , Yes we work on both import and export. Import actually used to be my bread and butter when I managed and negotiated the Savills corporate energy portfolio. @Badshot Those prices do seem incredibly high, higher than I've ever seen in fact. At the minute our import...

    No problem Farmerwully, I'll PM you now to see if there's anything we can do.

    Selling power fixed rate or tracker?

    The question between SSP (System Sell Price) or Fixed Rate contracts is a good one Farmerwully. With the market being in a bit of upheaval at the minute, with neither suppliers or generators having any idea what government intentions are, it comes down to your business approach and risk appetite...

    Export prices

    Hi Daniel, They have dropped back slightly, however I wouldn't link that to the government price cap, as energy is a more globalised market, and the cap is only going to be delivered using government lending. Your price will vary depending on lots of factors, making it hard to compare one...
