technologies that generate electricity, such as Baxi
Ecogen.
FiT will consists of two parts, a generation tariff and
an export tariff:
^ $AJAN=PEKJP=NEBBPDAAJANCUOQLLHEANSEHHI=GA
a fixed payment to the householder for every
kWh of electricity they generate
^ "TLKNPP=NEBBPDAAJANCUOQLLHEANSEHHI=GA=
fixed payment to the householder for every kWh of
electricity exported back to the electricity grid
FiT will be paid over a minimum period of 10 years from
the date the installation is first registered.
The biggest benefit to the householder is that they
?=JQOAPDAAHA?PNE?EPUPDAUCAJAN=PAKJOEPAPK
offset some of the electricity they would otherwise
have to buy from their energy supplier, therefore
reducing their electricity bill. The more electricity
that is used on site, the lower the running costs.
