The Feed-in Tariff (FiT) was introduced to support small-scale renewable energy projects by guaranteeing payments for both the electricity you generate and the electricity you export to the grid. If your site qualifies for FiT, you’re already benefiting from a fixed income stream for your renewable generation.
But did you know there’s a way to boost your returns even further?
Under the FiT scheme, you have the flexibility to opt out of the export tariff while continuing to receive your FiT generation payments. This means you can sell your exported power directly to the open market - typically through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)—potentially earning a significantly higher price during periods of strong market demand.
This approach can be especially advantageous when wholesale electricity prices are high, allowing you to capture higher export revenues.
How We Help
Deciding whether to remain on the FiT export tariff or switch to a market-based solution is not always straightforward. That’s where our expert advisory team comes in.
We’ll provide you with a comprehensive, site-specific analysis that includes:
FiT Tariff Review
We review the details of your current FiT agreement - including technology type, commissioning date, and tariff level - to ensure you’re making decisions based on accurate, up-to-date information.
Market Opportunity Assessment
We model current and forecasted power prices and compare them to your FiT export rate, helping you quantify the potential financial uplift from moving to a PPA.
Site Suitability Evaluation
Not all sites are suited for FiT opt-out. We assess the size, generation profile, and grid export characteristics of your asset to determine whether a switch makes sense for you.
PPA Structuring and Setup
If the market route proves favourable, we can help you source, negotiate, and implement a tailored PPA that matches your export profile and revenue goals, with full transparency and trusted UK offtakers.
