The Government confirmed on 18 December 2018 the closure of the Feed-In Tariffs scheme to all new applications after 31 March 2019 subject to a number of time-limited extensions and a grace period. We are now consulting on a Smart Export Guarantee to follow on from the FIT scheme, to ensure that small-scale low-carbon generators, including hydroelectricity, do not export their electricity to the grid for free.
