Feed-in Tariffs

The Feed-in Tariffs (FITs) scheme was introduced to encourage the installation and deployment of small-scale sustainable energy generation. The scheme guarantees a payment from a designated electricity company for the electricity generated by individuals and businesses using small-scale, sustainable energy generation technology. In addition, unused surplus electricity can be sold to the company for a guaranteed fee.

Sasie Ltd offers two technologies eligible for Feed-in Tariffs: Wind and Solar Photovoltaics (PV).

Currently, there is some confusion regarding the rate of Feed-in Tariffs due to actions of the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). Before December 12th 2012, the rate for <4kWh systems was 43.3p. This was reduced to 21p. However, that action has been deemed unlawful by the High Court, and the DECC's appeal of that decision was rejected on January 25th 2012. This means that installations between December 12th 2011 and the cut-off date of March 3rd 2012 will be eligible for the higher rate of 43.3p for the full 25 years guaranteed by the scheme.
