The BHA have identified that there’s at present solely 24kW of the 1.1MW capability out there for this quarter within the sub-100kW FiT band for hydro.
If the utmost band capability of 1.1MW is reached earlier than the top of March, then a ten% contingent degression can be triggered which might decrease the FiT fee for any future new schemes. In case you try and pre-accredit a scheme which is bigger than the remaining capability you’ll each set off the degression and undergo the ten% discount on your scheme.
In case you wait till April when new capability is out there you’ll solely undergo a really small default degression.
