July saw over 7.5 MWe of new capacity (not pre-accredited) receive full accreditation in the 0.5-5 MWe scale of the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) in July. This is a big increase in capacity for an individual month. This was across 12 fully-accredited plants, which indicates that the average capacity was 0.626 MWe. …

This week DECC released its monthly deployment data for May. Following on from April, when we saw no uptake, the growth has remained quite low. Looking to the degression implications, you may already know we have already hit the 20% annual trigger for plants up to 500kW and we have just…

DECC has shared statistics on the "attrition" rate for pre-accredited FIT capacity last year - i.e. the number of projects which were pre-accredited by December 2013 and were not built.
