Submitting Feed in Tariff Readings

16.7K Posts


There's been a lot (a huge number) of posts about submitting your gas and electricity meter readings to ensure you're charged at the lower rate for all energy used up to today and aren't subject to estimated readings. I've not seen anything suggesting this for FIT readings. It's the opposite way round for us, it's worth getting that reading recorded or submitted today so that any generated electricity from today onwards is credited at the new rate that's 7.5% higher thanks to the RPI uplift.
Doesn't really compare to the 54% average bill increase but you might as well get the units paid at the correct rate.

Have submitted a reading on March 31st for the last 2 years after I discovered that they always over estimated my production for the last 2 weeks of March. Always reading my meters on last day of month including generation meter so I could compare what I had been for.
Wonder what the RPI will be this December for April increase next year?
Then I put the wrong date in once, chased about 2 weeks later as I hand;t been paid, they called me the next day, all sorted and paid within 48 hours.
If this isn't the norm for people I suggest you consider switching
