UK launches Feed In Tariffs scheme to encourage all to generate and earn from clean energy | 22nd Feb 2010

Attention Land and Property owners! The Feed-in Tariff scheme now makes small-to-medium scale renewable projects commercially viable. Read our update to understand how you can benefit from the scheme which looks set to transform the uptake of renewables in the UK.

From April this year, the Government will pay homeowners, real estate companies and other businesses for every unit of renewable electricity they generate whether it be for direct use or to be sold to the grid. Known as FIT, the scheme is likely to transform the UK renewables market, making projects affordable to developers and attractive to investors. For the first time we expect costs of generating renewable electricity to be comparable to buying it from the grid. FIT is likely to stimulate the rapid growth of small to medium scale electricity supply projects across the UK and create a new class of investment opportunities to land and property owners interested in developing projects or creating additional income streams through leasing sites for development.
