Draft for response to Feed-in Tariff DECC consultation

Draft for response to Feed-in Tariff DECC consultation
I am in the process of responding to the “Feed-in Tariffs Scheme – Consultation on Comprehensive Review Phase 2B: tariffs for non-PV technologies and scheme administration issues”.

The comprehensive FiT review follows a strategy review for Microgeneration in 2010/2011 to which I submitted a response.  In my opinion an opportunity is being missed at this point to address issues with the FiT scheme as applied to micro hydro schemes.  I had hoped that a broader consultation on the FiT scheme would have addressed these issues. 

I am therefore planning to submit a response in two parts:
  1. using the consultation response template provided by DECC
  2. as a proposal for supporting micro hydro in a more appropriate way using aspects of the FiT scheme and introducing additional mechanisms in a way designed to encourage development of micro hydro in a more effective manner than can be achieved under the present and proposed new arrangements.
Please let me have comments on the mha draft response by email (ideally by returning it with appended comments).  I have also attached the consultation document itself.

I will attempt to incorporate your suggestions before my final submission (due 26th April 2012).  I also encourage you to respond to the consultation yourself online at this DECC web page or using the consultation response template.

A related paper is still outstanding to be published on this DECC webpage: “the draft Impact assessment will be available here shortly”.  This may result in further comments.

I am working on the wider proposal and will decide later on how to pursue this.
