Change in FITs 12.12.2011
The Government announced that the Feed In Tariff (FITs) would change from 43.3pence per unit to a new rate of 21p/kWh for solar PV installations of less than 4kW. This new tariff rate will affect all installations with an eligibility date on or after 12th December 2011.

North leads the way on installing renewable technology.
Sheffield and other northern cities are leading the way in renewable energy since the introduction of feed-in tariffs to pay for power generated by households. The return on investment of between 7% to 12% from a guaranteed income stream, as well as free electricity is driving demand from home improvement.
Sheffield and Leads Leading the Way
Nearly 2 megawatts of capacity have been added in Sheffield in the last 15 months and Leeds comes second in the league table, with more than 1MW of capacity added. A long way down cities such as Bristol, Bradford and Birmingham are also seeing increases in renewable energy installations per person.
London
With more renewables installed London at more than 3.2 megawatts of capacity added in the 15 months since feed-in tariffs became available, is the largest growth of renewables, but per head, it comes only sixth in the UK.
Sheffield Council
The local council has driven demand by the local council to encourage the take-up of renewable power, and in particular by plans to give people living in social housing access to the technology. Growth in capacity in microgeneration is about 400% since the feed-in tariff was launched in April 2010. Solar panels (photovoltaics) are leading that growth, with an increase in generating capacity of about 900%
