Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what proportion of energy production came from micro-generation in each of the last three years.
The table below shows the proportion of energy production sourced from micro-generation installations (less than 50 kW electrical capacity and less than 45kW for heat capacity) between 2010-11 and 2012-13. This includes energy production from installations registered on the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), the Feed-in Tariff Scheme (FIT), and the Renewables Obligation (RO). FiT data for 2013-14 are due to be published by Ofgem on 18th December.
Total Production of Heat and Electricity Generated from Micro Schemes (GWh) | ||||
2010-11 | 2011-12 | 2012-13 | 2013-14 | |
Renewable Heat Incentive | 0 | 168 | 934 | |
Feed In Tariff Scheme | 51 | 374 | 1,236 | n/a |
Renewable Obligation | 8 | 13 | 34 | 40 |
Total (GWh) | 59 | 387 | 1,438 | n/a |
