Latest on the court challenge!!!

[mdovey]

There is nothing in the consultation document which DECC published on the 31/10/2011 (Comprehensive Review Phase 1: Consultation on Feed-in Tariffs for solar PV - Department of Energy and Climate Change) proposing any change to the 25 year commitment.

Is it me or the Government has not yet taken a decision after the consultation? I though we need to wait until 9th Feb the latest to hear how exactly the FiT scheme has been reviewed?
Are you saying that we can all sell sub 4 kW systems at 21p now?

They have not made a decision yet, but even this bunch of clowns wouldn't try to introduce a substantive change (such as changing the 25 years) which wasn't in the consultation.

What DECC have announced is that what ever FIT rate they decide to introduce and whatever eligibility date they decide upon (or is forced upon them by the courts). Any installation between the 12 December and the 31 March will receive a FIT rate no lower than 21p (and possibly higher - but we will not know that for a few weeks).

The 25 years has never been in doubt.

Forum members should bear in mind that the public visit this site and raising questions that have never really been an issue can only contribute to general lack of confidence within the industry.

The Government has a commitment to pay the FIT rate for 25 years for solar PV. Its never been on any current agenda to change that.

Being a confused member of the public I have enough questions...

Questions #424-26 re: If Scotland gets independance.....

#424 Will Kim Jong-Salmond plan to cancel scheme and screw up my pension plans?
#425 If it continues will I have to move to that Scottish (Spanish) Power bunch?
#426 Will it be paid in worthless Euro's?

25 years now does seem a very long time

25yrs always look further away looking forward, strange then it seems so short looking back

I haven't considered that question before. The last poll I seen suggested that less than 1 in 4 Scots were in favour so its probably not worth worrying about. Having said that I have just sent a letter to my SNP Scottish MP and asked her the question. Don't hold your breath for a quick answer.

do we have any clarity on the rates for installs over 4kW?

 

[morpheus75]

I rang REA today and they confirmed once again 21p for 25 years until march 31st indexed link. No indication of any rate for systems above 4kw. Interestingly though the advisor i spoke to seemed fairly certain that DECC will probably win the appeal?
Going forwards 21p indexed linked is what i will be advising potential clients with a bonus of 43p if appeal is lost, but will make very clear the current situation. To be honest there is not a lot else that can be said or done until we here the outcome.

In 1997, Gordon Brown told us that he'd put an end to boom and bust; I wouldn't believe everything that government puppets have to say.

Although I agree that the FiT was too generous for too long and allowed rent-a-roofers to skim-off an easy living; I also believe that although the courts will sympathise with the government, the courts will find it difficult to rule in the government's favour and I expect the 43p to be reinstated until April but only after a long, drawn-out series of appeals to deter as many as possible from jumping on the 43p bandwagon.

every government for the last 30 years has promised to get away from boom and bust, they're all lying wxxxxxs

Announcement due this afternoon about dates for new Fit payments from DECC. Seems that 3rd March is going to be the default date if the judges deem 12/12 unlawful.

Feed-in Tariff Update - Department of Energy and Climate Change

Is it me - "Today we’re putting in place a contingency that will bring a 21p rate into effect from April for installations from 3 March. " - Ehhh??????

It is me - I guess they mean the reduced rate for installs between 3rd March and April will be 21p after the the 1st April - men in white coats rapidly approaching ......​

Wtf..... :90:

So Fudge is the new black, and 3/3 is the new 12/12. There seems to be more joined up thinking in their dates than their thinking.
