From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT
By Paul Homewood
I missed OFGEM’s publication of the annual Feed in Tariff costs back in December:
FITs are one of the items not included by the OBR in its table of Environmental Levies, even though they used to be until a few years ago and plainly meet the same definition applied to other renewable subsidies – costs imposed by government on energy bills.
Yes but the prices you paid for the equipment have dropped significantly. Using 2nd hand equipment discarded by upgraders and my own labour counting as free I have built a system with a 5 year payback and nil export payments, as I have no MCS cert. But if those morons had not sent the electricity prices so high in the first place plus the increased risk of brownouts then I would not have bothered.
