The Government recently announced reductions in the Feed-in Tariff for rewarding small independent solar PV generators, controversially bringing forward the deadline for registering for the higher rate from April 1st 2012 to December 11th. We don’t agree with the Government’s decision to bring the deadline forward but we want to make sure as many small solar electricity generators as possible get their applications in by the deadline of midnight on the 11th of December. We’ve been supporting independent renewable generators for almost a decade – they’re the foundation upon which we see a 100% renewable energy future being built – and the Government’s decision isn’t going to change that.

From 10am to 4pm on Saturday the 10th and 12pm to 6pm on Sunday the 11th, Good Energy staff will be on hand to receive applications in person and offer advice over the phone. Our founder and CEO Juliet Davenport says: “The decision to bring the Feed-in Tariff deadline forward will create a mad scramble in the industry, from consumers to installers, and that’s something the Government has to avoid happening in the future. However, as specialists in all aspects of the FIT, the Good Energy team wants to help those who are committed to generating their own green electricity get their installations registered on time.”

We’ll be infusing the proceedings with some festive cheer, with mulled wine and mince pies, so if you’re in the area feel free to drop in and say hello.

For more information on how you can ensure your installation is registered in time to receive the highest rate of FIT head to the Feed-in Tariff section of our website.
