Saw this comment over at Solarpowerportal.co.uk and thought it was worth a repost:
Decc wants FITs in line with Germany although they have over 10years of large scale rollout and the economies of scale and eficiencies that go with it. Below are the new rates for Germany which are considerable in excess of our proposed FITs. The full degression is also based on the fact that they anticipate to install 5200 MWp !!! What is going on ???
German PV Market: Degression on Jan. 1, 2012 will be 15 percent.Bonn, Germany. As specified by the federal network agency on 10.27.2011, the degression on Jan. 1, 2012 will be 15 percent.The amount of degression for January 2012 is based on the installed capacity from October 1, 2010 to September 30, 2011. According to data from the federal network agency, added capacity for this time period was about 5,200 MWp (3,300 from the first nine months of 2011).The base degression is 9 percent. If the installed capacity exceeds 3,500 MWp in the months relevant for the degression calculation, an additional 3 percent degression is added for every additional gigawatt installed. The following rates are applicable for the coming year:
Roof installations up to 30 kWp, 24.43 cents / kW-hour (21,23 pence) Roof installations up to 100 kWp, 23.23 cents / kW-hour (20,28 pence)Roof installations up to 1 MW, 21.98 cents / kW-hour (19,19 pence)Roof installations greater than 1 MW, 18.33 cents / kW-hour (16 pence)Open-space installations, 17.94 cents / kW-hour (15,66 pence)
