· A secured export rate of 3p/kWh over 25 years. The rest of the rate will change over the years.
· Offset grid supplied electricity (OFGEM forecasts 40% increase in cost over next decade (average cost to be over 20p/kWh in 2020).
· A maximum of 5MW installed capacity of the same renewable technology can be installed.
· It is possible to get an installed capacity more than 5MW, if two or more systems of different renewable technology are installed. For example, one may have installed a PV system of 3MW and two wind turbines of 3MW totaling 6MW.
