The Government have published proposals for feed-in tariffs for small-scale electricity generation. The Department of Energy and Climate Change published a consultation document in July, still available from the DECC website at http://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/consultations /elec_financial/elec_financial.aspx.
The consultation elicited over 700 replies which are currently being analysed in line with the proposal to introduce a scheme by April 2010.
In the course of developing the proposal Ministers and officials consulted a wide range of organisations, nationally and internationally. A number of supporting studies based on this are also available at the same website.
