Reviews of the scheme

The government intends to periodically review the FITs scheme to ensure it is working well

The Feed-In Tariffs scheme will be reviewed by the government every five years, to coincide with the reviews of the Renewables Obligation.

The first review was due in 2012, with any changes suggested becoming effective in April 2013.

The list of eligible energy sources might also be extended at the five-yearly reviews.

First review

The first review was scheduled to take effect from 2012, as indicated above.

However the government decided to undertake this review early - see here.
