Almost two thirds of biomethane FiT applicants miss out on latest wave of feed-in tariff incentives thanks to funding cap A new cap on deployment of anaerobic digestion (AD) plants under the feed-in tariff (FiT) incentive scheme was hit within 15 minutes of the scheme opening for applications, Ofgem data released on Friday has shown. The 5.8MW cap was reached just quarter of an hour after it opened at midnight on Monday 8th February, meaning around two thirds of projects applying for incentives will miss out on the scheme. With the current cap period lasting until the end of March, those developers who did not submit their application within 15 minutes of the scheme opening will now have to wait until capacity becomes available during the next quarter. They will also face reduced tariffs as a result of missing out on the latest wave of FiT awards, according to industry body the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA).
