Feed in Tariff

[mugger24]

Am i correct that the feed in tariffs are to end in March 2019? Are they being replaced with something else?

Yes, you are correct. The consultation into the replacement for FITs - which are due to close to new applications at the end of March 2019 - is now a year overdue https://utilityweek.co.uk/uncertainity-feed-tariffs-affecting-investment-warns-industry/

The other major issue (re onshore wind) is of course the effective planning ban the Gov has placed on onshore wind turbines in England - regardless of size. It is now all but impossible to get planning (in England) for a new onshore wind turbine. There are some people currently challenging this legally and believe there is a potential loophole to potentially get around this.

Is the tariff not going to be replaced them? does this effect Anaerobic digestion plants as well?

Didn't AD get something in the last month or so? Not massively familiar with AD to be honest but I recall reading about some kind of subsidy/tariff for gas>grid.

I think gas to grid is RHI so still ok. I want to know if there will be a new tariff for small scale AD plants as not worth having one if no electric tariff!
