The quota (MW) allocated for
each RE technology for each
year is based on the:
(i) availability and
(ii) cash flow management
of the RE Fund.
FINANCIAL FEATURES OF THE FIT
RE Power Purchase Agreement (REPPA) to be signed by the
Feed in Approval Holder (FIAH) with the Distribution Licensee
(DL) is standardized
Rate is fixed
Period is fixed
No negotiations with the DL
DL is required by law to sign the REPPA within 30/60 days
Upon completion of the plant, DL is required by law to connect
to the grid and buy the generated power
Reliability run and testing and commissioning procedures are
streamlined and clear
DL is required to connect within 30/60 days of written notice by FIAH
FIAH has to declare the expected annual generation for each year
throughout the REPPA period to be sold to the DL during the
application stage
This forecast cannot be changed after submission
FIAH can only sell maximum 100 % of declared generation at FIT rate
10 % above maximum can be sold to DL at displaced cost (19 sen per kWh
at present)
Above 110 %, selling price is subject to negotiation between FIAH and DL
and approval by SEDA
No penalty if unable to meet generation forecast for installations with net
export capacity < 10 MW or PV installations with installed capacity < 12
MWp
LD only for installations > 10 MW net export or > 12 MWp for PV if unable to
meet 70 % of declared annual generation
However, SEDA will withdraw FIT if installation unable to supply 35 % of
declared annual generation for any capacity
FIAH is encouraged to take insurance against the plant not meeting forecast
generation
