Eco energy tariffs explained

Tuesday, June 29, 2010

Confusion following the Feed-In Renewable Energy Tariffs that were rolled out across the UK on April 1^st this year has prompted Ownergy, the full service provider of renewable energy systems, to launch an online, printable Simple Guide to the Renewable Energy Tariffs...

There are two renewable energy tariffs:

The first is for electricity and is known as the Feed-In Tariffs and this went live on April 1st 2010.

The second is for heat and is known as the Renewable Heat Incentive and this goes live on April 1st 2011.

Any system installed between now and then will be eligible and you will be saving on your heating bill in the meantime.

The purpose of the two tariffs is to pay people a decent and guaranteed amount for the renewable energy they generate themselves, calculated at a minimum 8% annual return on your investment all income tax free. They are designed for normal energy users, such as households and businesses.

The new guide will tell consumers and businesses all about the renewable energy tariffs - the Feed In Tariff (FIT) and the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). It describes in a simple and easily-digestible way what they are, how they work and how people could benefit.

Ownergy developed the Guide because of the enormous volume of people who have contacted them about the tariffs since the FIT went live on 1^st April 2010, and who wanted to understand them quickly and easily. It is designed so that once you have read it, you will be able to decide whether this is something you want to pursue further.

5 compelling things the Guide will tell you are:

The average household will be £2,000+ better off a year through the renewable energy tariffs

The tariffs are for virtually everyone with a property - householders, businesses, landlords, schools, hospitals, entire communities - the list is endless...

The tariffs put you in control of your energy

By installing renewable energy systems and benefiting from the tariffs, you will make a significant contribution to environmental sustainability in the UK

It's a lot easier to benefit from the tariffs than you might think!
