<p>Over the past five years, solar photovoltaic (PV), wind, wave and tidal electricity
projects have received support from either the Renewables Obligation (RO) or the Feed-in
Tariff (FITs).</p><p>Expenditure through the Renewables Obligation in 2011/12 to 2015/16
can be broken down by power generation technology shown in the table (£million in
nominal prices). Solar PV and some small-scale onshore wind are also supported by
the Feed In Tariff scheme, but costs are not available disaggregated by technology.
Total support is shown below (£million).</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>RO</strong>

</p><p>The Contracts for Difference Scheme opened for delivery from 2015/16 onwards.
No projects started deploying in 2015/16 so no payments were made.</p>
