The Government recently consulted on a proposal to close the Feed-in Tariffs (FIT) scheme from 1 April 2019. Under the consultation proposals, MCS scale community installations would have until 31 March 2019 to apply for pre-registration and would get the standard 12 month validity period in which to commission and apply to their FIT licensee for accreditation. They would receive the generation tariff available in the last tariff period before closure (i.e. the tariff available on 1 January 2019). They would receive an export tariff at the current rate available on the date that they apply to their FIT licensee.<\/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\u2019s 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\u2019s capacity.<\/p>
