The Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD) does not routinely capture information on planning applications from renewable electricity projects seeking to repower. The table below sets out the number and capacity of onshore wind projects that received or were refused planning permission in each year since 2009 and whose operator site names quoted in the REPD indicate that they are repower projects:<\/p>

Officials offered advice to the projects at that time.<\/p> The LCCC award letter made it clear that any income from FIT payments could only be spent on additional carbon reduction initiatives and therefore not to fund the maintenance costs of renewable energy systems installed under the LCCC grant. Some projects may have received grant funding for activities that are not associated with purchasing and installing renewable energy technologies. Such costs are not covered by the FIT and so can be supported by public grants without affecting eligibility for the FIT under the current rules. We will be issuing guidance that gives more clarity on this issue.<\/p> We will also be issuing guidance for new community groups covering: the treatment of different community ownership models under the FIT scheme; and reaching agreement with a commercial developer over sharing FIT payments.<\/p>"}
