Small-scale energy producers will be offered a fixed, premium rate for renewable energy fed-in to the grid. This energy is bought by the utility companies which are obliged under the legislation to buy the units of energy over a set number of years. The consultation period has just ended. Some are saying that the tariff levels have been set too low and that existing microgenerators will actually end up receiving less. Sussex-based SolarUK has already seen a spur in interest in its solar thermal systems, as they look increasingly cost-effective in the face of rising oil and electricity prices. It also installs PV systems: maybe it will see a boost in interest in its panels in the light of the new scheme. The UK is to introduce a Feed-in tariff from April 2010.
