Government FIT proposals – uncertain future for energy from small-scale hydro and Anaerobic Digestion?
The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy has launched a new consultation on the proposed closure of the Feed-In Tariffs (FITs) Scheme, the Government’s subsidy scheme for generation of renewable electricity from small-scale low-carbon installations – which could see an uncertain future for small scale schemes including hydro and Anaerobic Digestion, without ongoing Government support.
Government plans could see end of Feed In Tariff for large-scale AD plants
A new consultation on the future level of support via the Feed-in Tariffs (FITs) scheme for anaerobic digestion (AD) or micro-combined heat and power (mCHP), technologies includes a proposal to remove the Feed-in Tariff (FiT) for anaerobic digestion installations of between 500kW and 5 MW.
