Non-domestic export tariffs?

DougMLancs

I’m working with my church to help reduce its carbon footprint and part of that is looking at fitting 6kW of panels on a S facing roof. Does anyone know what export tariffs are available to businesses/charities? Outgoing Fixed? I assume Flux is only domestic but I’ll check the T&C’s. I’m not easily finding the info on Octopus’ website. It would be really helpful to have a revenue stream from the panels that can offset energy costs for the winter. 

I would also hope there wouldn’t be any DNO issues with a 6kW array in central Lancaster but I don’t know if non-domestic arrays have a tougher time getting approved.

If you're on Twitter I believe that's generally reckoned to be the best way to get a quick response from Octopus.

There's information about SEG here if you haven't already seen it.

Thanks for the link. I’ll give 🐙 a tweet in morning- I was just being impatient so I thought I’d consult the next best source of info 😁

Not sure if Octopus got back to you regarding flux, ‘Panel Power’ is the Octopus business tariff we were reviewing at work before they decided not to got for a grid connected system. Flat 15p/kWh rate

What was their reasoning for not going grid-tied?

It doesn’t look like Flux is on the table to non-domestic customers but they’re happy for something like outgoing fixed @ 15p/kWh which is the same as Panel Power. So one way or another I know the export rate now. Just waiting to hear back from DNO on a likely export limit as in theory we can get up to to 15kW of panels up there.
