Higher FIT tariff for small generators producing biogas; wind and hydro unchanged

While rates for solar PV have been reduced, AD plants that are rated at less than 250kW will receive payments up from 12.7p per kWh in 2010/11 to 14.7p per kWh.

Mid scale AD plants, rated between 250kW and 500kW, will see their payments increase from 12.7 p per kWh to 13.6 p per kWh. The higher payment will be made for plants that started up after 30 September 2011 and remains in place for 2012/13.

Tariffs for AD plants rated about 500kW remain unchanged at 9.9 p per kWh.

Feed in tariffs for other small generation projects, including wind farms and small hydropower projects remain unchanged.
