Feed-In Tariffs Scheme: consultation

The Feed-In Tariffs (FITs) Scheme is the government’s subsidy scheme for generation of renewable electricity from small-scale low-carbon installations.

This consultation sets out a proposal to close the export tariff alongside the generation tariff on 31 March 2019, which would mean full closure of the FITs scheme to new applications after 31 March 2019.

It also seeks views on proposed scheme administrative changes. An impact assessment accompanies the consultation.
