Replace FITs banding?
Under FiTs, who’s going to install 100-120kW, 500-599kW and 2-3.6MW schemes?

Input electricityROCs
◦Esholt: 10% pre-pumped flow netted off
FITs◦15kW scheme in Wales: drought
pumps 200 hours in last 12 years ineligible (& can’t opt for
ROCs)
Other factorsPump and system efficiency
Operation within OFWAT regulations
Identified opportunities reality
Other renewable energy sources
Conclusions If a banding system must be
used, FITs should be based on MWh generated to prevent downsizing
FITs should have an allowance for input electricity to ‘net-off’ pre-pumping as with ROCs
Energy recovery systems should be subsidised
Other factors need to be considered
