Coming to the end of your renewable energy installation and feeling that that commission deadline is looming closer and closer? If your Pre-FiT accreditation is due to expire at the end of this month then we trust that you have everything in hand as your tariff is likely to be lost. If your Pre-FiT accreditation is coming to an end in December, you should be aiming to commission in either October or November.

Here are a few things to think about now before it’s too late:

Feed-in Tariffs

Pre-FiT accreditation may be about to become a thing of the past due to a recent consultation published by Department of Energy and Climate Change. If you are one of the lucky ones who have Pre-FiT accreditation, it’s important to capitalise on it and not let your tariff expire as it is only guaranteed for 12 months. After the 12 months expires the tariff rates will have decreased.

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

It’s worth considering your PPA carefully to negotiate the most competitive contract, and get the best price for your export electricity. Please remember you will not be able to get your Meter Operator Contract without a PPA and you must have metering in place to be able to commission.There is more to a competitive PPA than meets the eye, see my previous blog.

Our team of industry experts are well placed to help you with all aspects of compliance and PPAs. Allow us to use our knowledge and expertise to ensure you cash in on your tariff before it expires at the end of the year. Call us on 024 7669 8899.
