It was introduced in England and Wales and in a different form (the Renewables Obligation (Scotland)) in Scotland in April 2002 and in Northern Ireland in April 2005.
Feed In Tariff The Government announced in July 2009 the details of the proposed feed-in tariff for Microgeneration systems from April 2010, in England, Scotland and Wales (For Northern Ireland, refer to ROC's).
