Looks like New Wind Turbine subsidy to end year early ???
ROC's not FiT's
I think it is FITs on all wind turbines:

If anyone is thinking of putting a turbine up before then please be aware that C&F Green Energy have stopped servicing work they have already been paid for:

The NFU link says possibly FiT's so it all looks a bit unclear.
What I have been told is that it is relevant to larger turbines .
I must admit that when I first read the announcement I assumed it was FiT's as well but was told otherwise later.. All will become clear I guess in time.
One thing the announcement did refer too was the scheme ending one year early and that must be ROCs as the FiT I believe was due to run until 2021 (?) I think.
I also heard that VAT on renewables is going from 5% to 20% soon. Don't know if that's just a rumour. Anyone else heard that?Quote:

That's your gamble.Quote:

I had a look back at the ministers statements and she says the recent announcement referred to ROCs but they are starting a review of FiTs.
It's pretty clear what they want to do and there is this talk of exceptions for " community" schemes. The devil is in the detail there.
So no change in FiTs yet but even for ROCs there is a grace period for those with existing planning and pre accreditation seemingly.
That's how I read it anyway

... a cautionary tale in this week's Scottish Farmer :(

"Nearly passed planning" is nowhere with the govt sadly. Passing planning AND having grid connection secured is halfway.Quote:
