The Feed-in Tariff closed as expected on March 31st 2019 having successfully brought forward over 6GW of small-scale low carbon generation capacity.

Financial limits were imposed on the scheme from 2016 Q2 to scheme closure, with the total annual payments to all installations during this period capped at £100m (2011/2012 prices). Based on Ofgem’s deployment reports, the scheme fell within this limit by £38m (2011/2012 prices).
