There have recently been some interesting offers made by UK electricity suppliers to the domestic renewable energy generator. In particular Scottish and Southern Energy (S&SE) are offering 28p on every kWh generated by PV and exported to the grid. This seems like a great offer and looks like we are heading closer to the kind of feed in tariffs available in other parts of Europe (eg Spain Real Decreto 1578/2008 – 0.34€/kWh). This post analyses the offers available for one particular scenario; an average South England household with a sizeable photovoltaic array and then makes a comparison to the current Spanish government feed in tariff.
