2015 was a transitional year for the renewables industry in the UK in many ways, as a succession of policy changes altered the subsidy regime and shook investor confidence.
The last of these took place on the 17 December, when DECC announced the UK government’s response to the consultation on the Feed-in Tariffs scheme. As a result the tariffs are due to change substantially in January, along with further changes including deployment caps, contingent degression, the re-introduction of pre-accreditation and a four week pause in the entire scheme during January/February.
MacRoberts has prepared a reference table detailing the tariff changes as well as other key information for stakeholders.
