FIT rates after May

SolarRoofSols · Feb 28, 2013

Has anyone got the inside scoop on FIT rates after May? Have 1 DNO application in which is due w/c 22nd April and talking to another farm but they are not ready to commit yet so the DNO application probably won't be in in time.

Someone mentioned (maybe GavinA) that it may roll over to August - has anything been confirmed?

Today is the deadline for OFGEM to officially announce the new rates.

The new FIT rates are already posted in ofgem or DECC website.

apologies, i dont think it has been announced yet

SolarSparky · Feb 28, 2013

so no change from previous rates?

hopefully not, got 2 installs that need DNO and planning permission and am talking to a 3rd, none of which will comfortably meet the current deadline. I know that any reduction isn't likely to be massive but I don't want to disappoint these customers. keep refreshing ofgem's page cos I'm not gonna confirm anything until the fat cats have sung!
