Cash Rewards for Low Carbon Electricity and Heating through Feed-in tariffs
Clean Energy Cashback (also known as Feed In Tariffs), commences on 1 April 2010, will provide financial incentives for people and businesses to install electricity-generating technologies such as solar electricity panels and wind turbines.
Households and communities who install generating technologies such as wind turbines and solar panels will be from April, entitled to claim payments for the low carbon electricity they produce. On the 1st February 2010, Energy and Climate Change secretary Ed Milliband announced the feed-in tariff (FITs) levels and also published a blueprint for a similar scheme to be introduced in April 2011 to incentives low carbon heating technologies. The renewable heat incentive (RHI) will be a world first.
The schemes are designed to bring about a significant increase in the amount of locally produced green energy, as a contribution to the wider shift of the energy mix to low carbon.
