The Feed-in Tariff (FiT) scheme and the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) means that farmers and landowners who invest in renewable energy technologies can claim attractive payments for the electricity and heat that they generate. The prospect of guaranteed long-term revenue streams, limited exposure to rising electricity prices and reduced carbon emissions has created huge interest amongst landowners from across the UK.

However, for those with busy work schedules, it can be very difficult to commit the necessary time to assess the opportunities, decide on the best technologies to utilise and identify the most suitable suppliers to work with.

The Renewable Energy Exchange helps resolve this issue by providing an independent brokerage service, facilitating meetings between those planning renewable projects and suppliers. Participants can then make informed and timely purchasing decisions to take full advantage of the current incentives from the FiT and RHI schemes.

A nationwide programme of FiT for FARMING networking events provide a time-efficient opportunity for landowners to have pre-arranged meetings with selected technology providers and services firms, in order to evaluate options and short-list prospective suppliers.

Open Days/Farm Visits enable those considering a particular Wind Turbine or Solar PV system to see the technology up-and-running and meet with both the farmer who made the investment and the company that supplied the technology.

All farmers and landowners interested in taking advantage of the Feed-in Tariff and/or the Renewable Heat Incentive are encouraged to register for a FREE place at one of the regional FiT for FARMING networking events. Once you're registered, we can then keep you posted on any future Farm Visits that we think may be of interest to you.
