<p>The Government recently consulted on a proposal to close the Feed-in Tariffs (FIT)
scheme from 1 April 2019. For MCS scale community installations that apply for pre-registration
on or before 31 March 2019, we proposed that the tariff rate they would receive would
be determined by the date and time the installation’s MCS certificate was issued in
accordance with the existing scheme rules. For those installations that commission
and apply to their FIT licensee after 31 March 2019, within their 12 month validity
period, we proposed that the tariff rate would be that available in the last tariff
period before closure (i.e. the tariff available on 1 January 2019). In all situations
there would need to be sufficient space in the appropriate quarterly deployment cap
in or prior to the tariff period in 2019 to accommodate the installation’s capacity.</p><p>
</p><p>The Government will set out its response to the consultation, including confirmed
closure arrangements for community schemes, in due course.</p>
