	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2018 answer text <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> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 19/11/2018 15:32:37 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
