Revised FIT energy efficiency requirements come into force

Posted: 10 May, 2016. Written by Mark

Ofgem has published an updated version of its Feed In Tariff (FIT) guidance for suppliers which you can access here.

The main reason for the update is to reflect changes to the Energy Efficiency Requirement (EER) which came into effect today, 10 May 2016.

  • For installations with an application date on or after 10 May 2016, the EPC of level D or above must have been issued before the commissioning date of the FIT installation.
  • For installations with an application date before 10 May 2016 but on or after 15 January 2016 an EPC level of D or above must have been issued on or before the commissioning date.
  • For installations with an application date of before 15 January 2016 an EPC level D or above must have been issued on or before the Eligibility Date of the FIT installation. 

Installations that have not acquired an EPC of level D or above at or before these dates will receive the lower tariff.
