Feed in tariff changes in December 2011

The government is conducting a fast-track review of the FIT payment structure, with changes to tariffs due to come into force for installations completed and registered after 12th December 2011.Installations completed and registered before this date will be unaffected. Installations registered after 12th December will receive the current tariff rate up until the 31st March and then receive the reduced to rate from 1st April 2012.  Installations after 31st March 2012 will start off at the new tariff rates and potentially be subject to caveats based upon the energy efficiency rating of the registered property where the installation is sited.
