Feed in Tariff extension for communities
The Feed in Tariff closes on 31st March 2019, however community organisations can get a 12-month extension to this through a simple pre-registration process with Ofgem. This is a great opportunity for small solar PV on buildings and we can help with advice and funding to help you secure the last of the Feed in Tariff.
