Britain to Launch New Scheme to Pay Households for Unused Renewable Power

Around 800,000 homes in Britain have solar panels installed and the scheme will replace a feed-in-tariff system which ended in April 2019

Britain will launch a new scheme to pay households producing energy from renewable sources, such as solar panels, for their surplus electricity. Around 800,000 homes in Britain have solar panels installed and the scheme will replace a feed-in-tariff system which ended in April. Monthly installation of new solar panels in Britain fell to a 9-year low in April, following the end of the feed-in-tariff scheme, provisional government data shows. Under the new scheme, households will be paid for the power they produce by their energy supplier, which sets the prices offered. The new guarantee will apply to homes with up to 5 megawatts of renewable power capacity installed, with generation tracked by smart meters. The government will set legislation for the scheme to become mandatory for any energy supplier with more than 150,000 customers from January 1 2020.
