This Order amends the Feed-in Tariffs (Specified Maximum Capacity and Functions) Order 2010 (S.I. 2010/678) (“the 2010 Order”).
The 2010 Order gives functions to the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority (“the Authority”) and the Secretary of State in connection with the administration of the feed-in tariffs scheme for small-scale low carbon electricity generation.
Article 4 of this Order amends article 13 of the 2010 Order to include a new duty on the Authority to publish a quarterly table setting out the FIT payment rates which are to apply to solar photovoltaic installations with an eligibility date in the following quarter. Those payment rates are to be calculated in accordance with provisions in Standard Licence Condition 33 of the standard conditions of electricity supply licences.
Article 5 inserts a new article 13A in the 2010 Order which requires the Secretary of State to publish quarterly data about the deployment of solar photovoltaic installations, which is to be used by the Authority in calculating the FIT payment rates to apply in the following quarter.
