Asked by: Lord Bradshaw (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what are the current Feed-In Tariffs paid by energy companies for electricity generated from domestic solar panels; when were these tariffs last revised; and whether they have a policy to raise these in line with current energy costs.

Answered by Lord Callanan - Shadow Minister (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

A breakdown of the current Feed in Tariffs (FIT) for domestic solar can be found on Ofgem's website (copy attached).
