Communities across the nation will be able to receive Feed- in Tariff (FITs) payments for the clean green energy generated by larger community energy projects, under new plans set out by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC).
Projects such as solar PV on school roofs or panels on libraries, community owned wind turbi
nes and hydro power from local streams could all benefit under the proposed new rules.
The FITs scheme pays householders, businesses and communities for the electricity generated by a range of renewable energy technologies including solar PV, wind, hydro projects and anaerobic digestion. There is also money on offer for excess power exported back to the grid. More detail on the GOV.UK website
