FEED-IN TARIFFS: Commissioned Installations by Month 21 November 2014 Trends in deployment* Overall Feed-in Tariff (FIT) deployment at the end of October 2014 was 3,035 MW (618,574 installations). This represented a 27 per cent increase in total FIT installed capacity compared to the same period in 2013, and a 26 per cent increase in the number of installations. Photovoltaics (PV), were responsible for 99 per cent of the increase in installations and 83% of growth in capacity, with wind contributing 12% to capacity growth. PV installations increased rapidly at the start of the FIT tariff scheme. The rate of increase slowed after August 2012 following tariff reductions. As at the end of September 2014, PV installations represented 86 per cent (2,623 MW) of total installed capacity and 99 per cent (610,967) of the total number of installations. Sub-50kW PV installations represented 84 per cent (2,215 MW) of total PV installed capacity and 99 per cent (607,031) of the total number of PV installations. Wind was the second largest technology representing 9 per cent of total installed capacity (279 MW) and 1 per cent of installations (6,323). * Statistics for Feed-in Tariff deployment are compiled using data from the Microgeneration Certificate Scheme on all sub-50kW installations accredited on the FIT scheme, all >50kW installations accredited via the ROOFIT, and the Central FIT Tariff Register for installations that have transferred over from the RO. NOTE: These figures will differ from the statistics published for the degression mechanism, which are produced according to when a site was accredited rather than commissioned. Nor should they be compared to the monthly Central Feed-in Tariff statistics, which are aggregated based on the date an installation is confirmed on the FIT scheme. There is a time lag between when an installation is accredited, commissioned and confirmed on the FIT scheme, which can vary for each installation.
