  10. Feed in tariffs

  11. Financial Incentives LCBP Additional £45 million allocated to LCBP 22nd April 2009 No longer available for electricity generating technologies (closed 3rd Feb 2010) Available until April 2011 for heat generating technologies Phase 2 - Extended Public sector & charities Additional £39 million allocated 22nd April 2009 Upper limits per project 300kW heat 50% of the cost £200,000 maximum • Phase 1 • Residential • Max £2,500 / house • £30M budget • £18M spent

  12. LCBP Phase 1 (domestic) Grants

  13. Policies and targets • Requires electricity suppliers (e.g. E.On, British Gas…) to gain a certain percentage of the electricity they supply from renewable sources. • Targets: • 15.4% electricity from renewable sources by 2015 • 30% electricity from renewable sources by 2020

  14. Financial Incentives FITs • Non-generation household • Only imports electricity • Billed by their supplier based meter readings on kWh imported Usage (U): 3000kWh Import (I): 3000kWh

  15. Financial Incentives FITs Illustration of potential electricity flows for an on-site generator Usage (U): 3000kWh Generate (G): 2500kWh Offset (O): 1500kWh Generating unit Import (I): 1500kWh Export (E): 1000kWh

  16. Financial Incentives FITs Illustration of potential electricity flows for an on-site generator Differs by technology and by scale Generation tariff Usage (U): 3000kWh Avoided costs Generate (G): 2500kWh Offset (O): 1500kWh Generating unit 3p/kWh (or open market) Export tariff Import tariff Export (E): 1000kWh Import (I): 1500kWh

  17. Financial Incentives FITs Illustration of potential electricity flows for an on-site generator – Annual consumption (an example)

  18. Eligibility & Payment • 5MW limit (= 5000kW) • Wide range of technologies • Wind • Solar PV • Hydro • ...and more... • Accreditation • Product and installer MCS certificated • Payments to be made by suppliers

  19. Degression • The consumer will receive the same generation tariff for the lifetime • Degression of generation tariff is applied to some technologies • Reflects, and to some extent encourages, cost reductions over time due to learning, scale of production etc • A feature of international best practice • Will be in place from year 3

  20. Table of tariffs up to 2013(Systems installed from 1st April ‘10) Not the full list of tariffs. Only those most relevant to domestic properties. Export tariff = 3p/kWh

  21. Systems installed before 31st March • MCS certificated, inform energy supplier • Not MCS certificated, approach Ofgem for accreditation under the RO • Systems installed before 15th July 2009 • Reduced generation tariff, 9p/kWh • Systems installed 15th July 2009 – 31st March 2010 • Will be treated as if they were installed on the 1st April 2010
