This survey has been designed to find out the views of NAPIT members on parts 2A of the Feed-in-Tariff Consultation.

Question Title

1. Do you agree that in setting tariffs we should move away from explicitly targeting an average rate of return of 4.5-5%?

Question Title

2. Do you agree that the tariff table from 1 July 2012 should depend on the volume of deployment in the period from 3rd March 2012 to 3rd April 2012?

Question Title

3. The options proposed by the DECC for July 2012 on a <4kW installation are:

Option A: >200MW = 13.6p
Option B: 200MW - 150MW = 15.7p
Option C: <150MW = 16.5p

We welcome members views on the following...

  Yes No
Are the tariff ranges displayed in options A, B and C appropriate?
Are the trigger points for deployment, based on installations in March and April, broadly right?

Question Title

4. Please give a brief explanation to the reason for your answer below and send any evidence you can to support this to: consultation@napit.org.uk

Question Title

5. Do you agree that tariffs for multiple installations (over 25 installations) should continue to be 80% of the relevant individual tariff?

Question Title

6. Do you have any cost information to support your response to Q5 above?

Question Title

7. Do you agree that the installations that do not meet the energy efficiency requirements should attract "standard alone rate" which starts at 8.9p on a <4kW system from the 1st April 2012?

Question Title

8. Do you agree with the principle of tariff degression?

Question Title

9. DECC propose a baseline tariff degression of 10% every 6 months and a contingent mechanism based on a level of deployment, supplemented with annual tariff reviews to check that the system is working as planned?

Question Title

10. At a recent industry meeting there was an even division of answers to the previous question between the two potential options below.
Please highlight which answer you agree with the most:

  Mostly Agree Agree Least
The current proposed mechanism whereby 6 monthly automatic degression takes place, with additional contingent volume-linked degression (with 2 month notice period if activated)
Alternatively, a linear baseline degression profile with very small (but fixed) incremental reductions on a month by month basis

Question Title

11. Please give a brief explanation to your answer to this question and provide any alternative suggestions you may have:

Question Title

12. Do you agree that automatic baseline degression steps should be at the rate of 10% every 6 months?

Question Title

13. Do you agree that contingent degression triggers should be based on 125% of expected deployment?

Question Title

14. Do you agree that actual deployment should be measured and published by Ofgem monthly?

Question Title

15. Do you consider that the baseline degression and/or the contingent deployment triggers should change once the two Renewable Obligation Certificate (ROC) rates have been reached?

Question Title

16. Do you think the deployment triggers should be divided into the proposed bands below?

Option A: >200MW = 13.6p
Option B: 200MW - 150MW = 15.7p
Option C: <150MW = 16.5p

Question Title

17. Please give a brief explanation to your answer to this question and provide any alternative suggestions you may have:

Question Title

18. Do you consider that we should reduce the tariff lifetime for new entrants to the FITs scheme from 25 to 20 years?

Question Title

19. Please give a brief explanation to your answer to this question and provide any alternative suggestions you may have:

Question Title

20. Should any changes to export tariffs apply to all generators or only new entrants to the scheme?

Question Title

21. Please give a brief explanation to your answer to this question and provide any alternative suggestions you may have:

Question Title

22. Should there be compensating changes to generation tariffs? i.e. increases or decreases between generation and export tariffs

Question Title

23. Please give a brief explanation to your answer to this question and provide any alternative suggestions you may have:

Question Title

24. Do you think tariffs should be index-linked?

Question Title

25. Please give a brief explanation to your answer to this question and provide any alternative suggestions you may have:

Question Title

26. If index-linking is maintained what would be the best model?

  Yes, I agree I'm not sure No, I disagree
Consumer Price Index (CPI) for whole life
Retail Price Index (RPI) for whole life
Index-linking CPI for 'X' number of years
Index-linking for RPI for 'X' number of years

Question Title

27. If you selected Index-linking for either CPI or RPI for the first 'X' number of years, how many years would you suggest this be set?
