Ofgem has published a new table on its website outlining the feed-in tariff rates as of April 1 this year. Owing to an annual boost from the Retail Price Index, some microgenerator’s FiT income will increase to 45.4p per kWh from that date.

This RPI linked increase takes place every year, and means that all those who have installed solar panels before 3rd March 2012 will see their feed in tariff payments increase by 4.8%. This means that those who are currently receiving the 43.3p rate will receive 45.4p per kWh from the 1st April 2012.

The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has published its response to the controversial ‘Phase 1 consultation on Solar Photovoltaic Feed-in Tariffs’.
