Q: Do I need to use a certified installer and product to benefit from the tariff?
A: Yes. Systems of up to 50Kw must be approved by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) in order to qualify for Feed-in Tariffs. For more information visit: www.microgenerationcertification.org. For installations that are between 50kW and 5MW, generators will need to apply through Ofgem. For more information visit: www.ofgem.gov.uk
Q: How do I get onto the scheme?
A: Once your eligible generating technology has been installed, you should inform your chosen energy supplier. The supplier will then register your installation onto the Central FIT Register and then pay you your tariff.
Q: Do I have to undertake energy efficiency measures?
A: It is highly recommended in order to achieve lower bills and energy use. For tips and advice visit www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/home-improvements-andproductswww.energysavi...
Q: Do larger projects – such as community projects – qualify for the scheme or is it just limited to individual properties?
A: Installations of up to 5 megawatts could qualify for the scheme.
Q: Where can I find more information about the technologies that I can install?
A: For impartial information about the different technologies that you can use, visit the Energy Saving Trust’s website: www.energysavingtrust.co.uk/generate-your-own-energy
Q: I rent my property. If my landlord installs an electricity generating technology, who would receive the cash-back?
A: It will be up to landlords and tenants of domestic or commercial property to come to an arrangement about who benefits from the scheme.
