Feed-in Tariffs: the energy saving option
Courtesy of UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC)
- Energy saving feed-in tariffs (ESFITs) are a relatively new concept and are designed to use the same principles as Feed in Tariffs for renewable energy (REFITs)
- They offer a promising way of improving electricity efficiency and reducing electricity demand, thereby decreasing carbon emissions
- The Electricity Market Reform proposals which form part of the 2012 Energy Bill provide a bias towards investment in new supply that could be addressed using ESFITs
- In the context of EMR, ESFITs offer a means of delivering decarbonisation with a lower impact on consumer bills
- Because ESFITs do not rely on energy companies, they would provide incentives for innovation in project delivery in a much wider range of actors including householders, community groups, local authorities and small businesses
- The concept of ESFITs is simple, but there are policy design issues that still need to be addressed
