An analytical annex, including an assessment of the potential impacts of this policy, was published alongside the Government response.
The Government considers that the change to indexation strikes an appropriate balance between reducing costs for consumers and maintaining investor confidence in the UK’s renewable energy sector. The Government remains committed to supporting accredited Feed-in Tariff generators for the remainder of their support period.

The Department has not made an estimate of the number of customers affected by the insolvency of Rowan Renewable Energy Ltd, or the value of any unpaid sums owed to those customers. Rowan Energy Ltd was not a FIT licensee on the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) scheme, so was operating outside its regulatory framework.
Generators who believe they are owed FIT payments should contact their FIT licensee in the first instance. Where a generator has opted out of FIT export payments and entered a separate arrangement for their export, this would fall outside the FIT scheme.
The Government is engaging with the Financial Conduct Authority to ensure that any appropriate regulatory action related to Rowan Energy Ltd is taken and that affected consumers are appropriately supported.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what mechanisms were in place to ensure that Feed‑in Tariff registrations were correctly assigned to homeowners at commissioning; and what support is available to consumers where feed-in tariffs were not correctly assigned.

Ofgem administers the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) scheme and maintains the Central FIT Register (CFR), which records accredited installations and their recipient, supporting correct assignment of payments. Suppliers must maintain accurate records on the CFR, which is subject to regular audit activity.
In some cases, payments may be assigned to a third party under separate contractual agreements. Such arrangements are commercial in nature and fall outside the FIT framework.
To confirm the recipient, homeowners may request information from Ofgem via an Ownership Register Query. Where appropriate, they may raise the matter with the relevant supplier, with unresolved complaints escalated to the Energy Ombudsman.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the feed-in-tariff export payments in the context of the contribution of small-scale renewable generators to demand on the national grid.

The Feed-in Tariffs (FIT) scheme closed to new applicants in 2019, with existing tariffs maintained and only adjusted for inflation annually.
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), introduced in January 2020, replaced the FIT export payment with a market-led mechanism requiring suppliers to offer tariffs for exported electricity. It supports the transition to smart and flexible energy systems and is designed to enable deployment without subsidies. The average bundled SEG tariff is 15.49p/kWh and with around 50 tariffs available on the market, the SEG provides consumer choice in a competitive market.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of the indexation of feed in tariffs to align with CPI rather than RPI from financial year 2026-27 on community energy schemes.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of the indexation of feed in tariffs to align with CPI rather than RPI from financial year 2026-27 on community energy schemes.
Changing indexation of the Feed‑in Tariffs scheme from RPI to CPI is estimated to reduce average revenue for a generator remaining on the scheme until 2036/37 by around 4.2%, compared with a scenario where indexation is unchanged. Generators that exit the scheme earlier would experience a smaller average impact. The available data does not allow for analysis on specific groups of generators such as community energy schemes. An analytical annex, including an assessment of the potential impacts of this policy, was published alongside the government response.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to help ensure that investors in the Feed-in Tariff scheme continue to receive payments in line with their original contracts.

The Feed-in Tariffs scheme continues to operate within the statutory framework established by the Feed-in Tariffs Order 2012. Recent confirmed changes to inflation indexation of the scheme will apply to existing generators. Generators will continue to receive inflation-indexed payments for the full duration of their support period.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what discussions he has had with Ofgem on (a) reducing delays in the processing time for payments made under the Feed-in Tariff scheme and (b) improving the confidence of private investors for that scheme.

Under the Feed-in Tariffs (FIT) scheme suppliers are required to make FIT payments no less than quarterly. The Government engages regularly with Ofgem, as administrator of the scheme, to keep its operation under review and ensure it continues to function effectively.
The Government recognises that regulatory stability is essential to maintaining an attractive investment environment. The Government also considers it appropriate to undertake periodic reviews of schemes to ensure they continue to provide value for money for the households and businesses that fund this support.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what consideration he has given to protections for existing Feed-in Tariffs scheme participants in any change to indexation.

The Government recognises the importance of regulatory stability for maintaining an attractive investment environment. The Government also considers that it is appropriate to periodically review schemes to ensure they continue to represent value for money for the households and businesses that bear the costs of this support. As the scheme is now closed, these changes will apply to existing Feed-in Tariffs generators. However, generators will continue to receive inflation-indexed payments for the full lifetime of their support.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what advice his Department has received on whether changes to the inflation indexation methodology of the Feed-in Tariff scheme would constitute a material change to the contractual terms agreed with scheme participants.

The Feed-In Tariff scheme does not involve individual contracts between generators and government. Accredited generators may have entered into contracts with their energy suppliers in relation to their FIT payments, but their entitlement to those payments arises from legislation and the standard conditions of the electricity supply licence. Any changes to the indexation methodology would follow the statutory process for changing those conditions.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of changing the inflation indexation calculation for the Renewable Obligation (RO) and Feed-in Tariffs (FiT) schemes from the Retail Price Index (RPI) to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on existing renewable-energy...
