Re: Potential slash of Feed-In Tariff (FITs) - What does this mean for MCS installers
Been to a NIC training centre yesterday and was speaking to someone there about this, he said he expects the money to be slashed for larger systems and cut by 3p or 4p for ones aimed at domestic. He said the money issue is a bit of a worry but by cutting it for large systems and businesses it will continue to be maintained for few more years.
But his main other reasons were the fact that we are struggling for power as it is, dont know about other area's but the east midland DNO are putting 80A fuses in any new houses and have been doing so for over a year. If the country doesnt do something now then there will be a lot worse problem in 10-20yrs where the government could end up paying for all new energy works just to keep homes powered.
There has only been 68000 installations according to their database and i assume thats not all domestic. He said to him thats not alot and without getting it into houses and it being the norm so to speak then the industry wont survive or become cheap and good enough for people to do it off their own backs in 5 years time etc.
He pretty much said same thing with gas and how its being distributed at its limit but heat pumps are for another time.
Just thought share that from a view of an NIC MCS guy, not a spokesperson or rep etc.
