Historical and future tariffs
See these more detailed tables to view:
- Table B: Tariffs payable now on previously installed systems (including indexation)
- Table C: Starting tariffs applicable to previously installed systems
- Table D: Starting tariffs applicable in future periods (including degression)
We used to show all this in one table, but there have already been so many changes to the tariffs and the bands ...
Other benefits
These tables show only the generation tariff. The Feed-In Tariffs scheme also provides two further benefits: an additional payment for surplus energy exported to the grid (this is called the export tariff) and a saving on energy purchased from your electricity supplier.
