Toolkit: Making Feed-in Tariffs work for you
The Energy Saving Trust has produced a guide to help make it easier to take advantage of FITs by providing information on the tariffs, as well as finance, ownership issues, a step-by-step guide, and some real life case studies. Whilst there are a number of technologies which are eligible to receive FITs, this document focuses primarily on solar electricity (PV). This technology is well suited to a large scale roll out by local authorities and housing associations.
Ofgem Feed-in tariff statistics
Ofgem now have a statistics hub for showing the number of FIT installations. This for example can be searched by local authority or technology. See: Ofgem Renewables and CHP Register
Information from our Feed-in Tariff events
The Energy Saving Trust and Friends of the Earth recently held two events about Feed in Tariffs (FITs), providing local authorities with an overview of the FIT scheme and sharing information on how local authorities can use FITs. The slides from all of the presentations and Q&A's are below as well contact details. Please contact your regional Energy Saving Trust teams in the first instance with queries about Feed in Tariffs.

Consultation on allowing local authorities to sell electricity
In March 2010 the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) launched a consultation on allowing local authorities to sell electricity. This consultation closed in June 2010 and DECC have now issued their response which can be found on the DECC website here. The conclusion of the consultation has resulted in local authorities being allowed to sell electricity. Local authorities could previously sell electricity only where this was generated alongside heat. This amendment now allows the sale of electricity generated from renewable sources.
The statutory instruments allowing local authorities to sell electricity generated from renewable sources can be found here:
