* Due to lags in the accreditation process, there are likely to be further schemes completed in the first six months of 2017 that are awaiting accreditation on FiTs. Additionally, the figures will include a number of sites (particularly community schemes) that obtained pre-accreditation in advance of the revised FiT scheme, but commissioned and gained full accreditation since February 2016.
