ofgem FIT guidance to be released next week

[Gavin A]

Just had a tweet back from Ofgem to say that they intend to release their updated FIT guidance next week.

Only 3 weeks after the scheme restarted / 7 weeks after the previous scheme closed.

Will this include the fabled 'real-time' capacity quota that's left?

 

[TedM]

I doubt it. They only seem interested in providing an update once a week, every Friday.

Here is today's - https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/system/fil...that_have_been_reached_in_tariff_period_1.pdf

the real time bit is the cut off point, which in the table is given by date and time apparently to the 10th of a second.

real time data capture, but weekly data release.

 

[Somecamel]

I thought the idea was that there would be an online dashboard of sorts so you could actually see what the capacity that is left was.

Either way, FITS is now dead, far too much uncertainty and lack of a coherent policy.

Anyone been doing much domestic?

 

[Gavin A]

I don't see it as dead, just needs careful monitoring of the weekly figures, and advising the customers accordingly. Should actually speed the process up from quote to installation stage IMO.

 

[TedM]

Just in case no one noticed, that last OFGEM deployment report has used kW figures instead of MW in the last column, thereby overstating deployment by 1000.

the ofgem meltdown continues apace

 

[TedM]

After a little prompting OFGEM have corrected the last report - new version here https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/system/fil...at_have_been_reached_in_tariff_period_1_0.pdf

 

[Gavin A]

I gather this is what was meant a while back by the 'big society'. Government will be cut to the bone to the point where they rely on others to do their work for them.
