massive uk fit news, page-29

Marmaduke,
I previously made this post regardin importance of elec efficiency
CARBON SAVINGS IS KEY AND THATS WHAT CFU IS - 100% MORE EFFICIENT THAN COAL FIRED POWER STATIONS. WHILE CLEAR EDGE IS ONLY 40% MORE EFFICIENT. FEED IN TARIFFS WILL THEREFORE FAVOUR BLEUGEN. hence why the bluegen is currently the only mCHP approved for FITs.

My latests post may be a little over the top in terms of the cost savings of grid electricity used and also in terms of the utilisation but still net savings look reasonable at 1500pa without DHW integration. (1700 with). Assuming a retail price of 32,000 pounds that would mean a payback of 15 years (excluding maint).

Utilities company tie ups should see these things roll out the door soon in an increasing rate - no worries (the gas cost creates a win win for them). For the retail enthusiast maybe the economy of scale factor will delay uptake in the short to medium term until the price drops by half.
