Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether people with feed-in tariff agreements for existing renewable energy systems are eligible for the smart export guarantee for new renewable energy generating systems.
People are eligible provided the new installation meets the eligibility requirements of the Smart Export Guarantee.
Should the new installation be an extension to an original Feed-in Tariffs (FIT) installation which takes it over the scheme’s 5MW capacity threshold, the original installation would no longer be eligible for FIT payments.
