Of these, 4,126 are small (below 15kW) wind turbines, with a total capacity of 32.9MW.</p><p>FITs offers relatively higher tariffs (2.4p higher than larger capacity bands from April 2015) at the smaller capacity (sub-15kW) required by households in order to facilitate deployment at this scale. We have also introduced measures to encourage households to take advantage of pooled resources by deploying at the community scale. These come into effect from 1 April 2015.</p> answering member constituency Hastings and Rye answering member printed Amber Rudd question first answered 04/03/2015 15:22:12 answering member 3983 label Biography information for Amber Rudd previous answer version 47704 answering member constituency Hastings and Rye answering member printed Amber Rudd answering member 3983 label Biography information for Amber Rudd
