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.
