FIT and EDF anyone got paid yet

steppevos

We had our installation installed on 14 February 2012. We send the forms off to EDF some days later. Got a confirmation letter quite quickly and then it went quiet.
I phoned them a week ago to ask when they were expecting that the registration was completed. They said that they were still processing Dec/Jan. applications, but I told them that I had seen on a forum that some weeks ago somebody had already received all their paperwork who had only installed in the second half of Feb. No, EDF was currently only processing Dec/Jan and in order of received applications and I would still have to wait some weeks, maybe more.
The same afternoon I received the documents by email. I have now send off the signed terms + a meter reading. We will see how long it now takes before the first payment arrives.
I would suggest that it is worth to keep phoning them. I should have phoned them earlier and more often.
Good luck everyone.

EDF have just asked me for my first meter reading :j - just over 6 months since I applied for the FIT last December. So that gives some idea what the backlog is at the moment.

Follow up on my text from 28 June: two days ago EDF emailed me that my payment is on its way; today it reached our bank account :beer: (paid uptill 25 June). It all took a bit more than 5 months from installing and applying till proper registration and first payment.
Now I hope that the payments will keep coming regularly .
