As the Department of Energy and Climate Change launched a consultation about feed-in tariff (FIT) support for the green technologies of anaerobic digestion and small combined-heat-and-power (micro-CHP) boilers and generators, Inspirit Energy said it could benefit from potential changes hitting its rivals. DECC’s consultation, which began last week and closes on 7 July, proposed maintaining the FIT for micro-CHP but it does now propose the introduction of a cap of 1,560 units in 2017, 1,560 units in 2018 and 390 units the year after that, as well as proposes a limit of 3.6MW of installed capacity under the feed in tariff scheme up until the end of March 2019. Inspirit said it considered this to be “an incentive” for customers who were interested in its Charger 2.0 micro-CHP generator, as one of the FIT requirements is a maximum electrical output of 2.0kW, to register their interest before the limit is set.
