ah, but they have covered themselves in the guidance, as it says something about getting confirmation from Ofgem about it - so unless anyone's got written confirmation from Ofgem that this is allowed in the way they're interpreting it for solar PV, then it's fairly meaningless unfortunately if Ofgem get involved at a later stage.Although OFGEM have said that to you, both OFGEM and Gemserve in their formally published guidance to date have been quite careful not to contradict the legislation as I interpret it (ie the same way as Worcester). Gemserve are just a commercial company providing a service and will be quite careful to make sure they do not do anything that will leave them liable downstream. OFGEM I regret are a) covering their arris not wanting to admit a mistake they have made in interpreting the legislation and hoping the issue will go away and b) probably think they are doing the right thing minimising solar pv fit payments after all the initial furore even if that is not what the legislation says nor what they have formally been instructed to do.
As I say, unless anyone has this in writing from Ofgem, then anything that may have been discussed verbally counts for precisely nothing in Ofgem's eyes.
