DECC Announces FIT Consultation

DECC have announced a consultation into a number of proposed policy changes, the most significant of which for community groups is the removal of preliminary accreditation under the feed-in-tariff (FIT).

Preliminary accreditation allows potential projects to know what rate of FIT they will receive before their project is commissioned and critics fear that removing this will create a level of uncertainty that stops projects going ahead. Responses to the consultation must be made by 19th August.
