Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

theboylard

Back from hols, 2 weeks of numbers duly crunched and what do we have so far?
Only one hawaii - 9/8/14 gave 20.954kWh, 5.239kWh/kW or in real money, 5.239 ho's
3.2 ho's today.

Although, currently at 64% of month target so very happy with that but the rest of the week looks pants
Yearly target looks good with 59% so far after 151 days.

But then we have the darker days to come so may struggle?

Still, mustn't grumble.

Night all

Our timeline over 2 years ago was as follows (note the number of letters may have increased or decreased since then):
21/10/11: Date of application
28/10/11: Application received by EDF
4/11/11 : "Thank you for choosing EDF as FiT licensee, we'll check application now..."
16/11/11: "FiT Application has been approved"
5/2/12: Received contract
10/2/12: Sent off signed contract and reading submitted
16/2/12: "Thank you for returning FiT contract"
27/2/12: First payment received

Nowadays the time from reading submission to payment into bank account is usually 5 working days or less.

Now thats what i call a detailed reply! Thanks very much!

When you say you submitted a reading on 10/2...did they still start your account from the november reading?

You're welcome!

They used 0.5 from commissioning date as our opening reading. After the February reading we then were asked to submit quarterly readings during the months of March, June, September and December, starting with March 2012.

And Oscarthegrouch, I was overseas with work at the time so that's my excuse for taking a whole 5 days to sign & return the contract.

When they requested the reading from me they specifically said it had to be from the application date. Because I was away for a couple of days they wouldnt accept zero and i missed out on about 8 quids worth of FIT!

I think my application date was the same as the commissioning date. You'll still get 25 years' worth of FiT payments, but you'll just have to wait until then end to get it!
