An impact assessment into the UK government’s decision to reduce the export tariff to new applicants has found that small-scale renewables could fall significantly as a result. Deployment could shrink to 50 MW a year, with small-scale solar dropping to 207 MW annually. By comparison, the assessment said that without the decision, 40 MW to 224 MW of small-scale solar would be deployed for each of the next three consecutive years.
