Feed-in Tariffs (FiT) scheme: indexation changes

This consultation invited views on 2 proposals:

• Option 1 – Change inflation indexation of the Feed-in Tariffs from the Retail Price Index (RPI) to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This would come into effect in April 2026
• Option 2 – A temporary freeze of the Feed-in Tariffs at the 2025 to 2026 level, taking effect from April 2026 (subjective to legislative schedules) and a gradual realignment with the CPI

The government response confirms our decision to pursue Option 1.

From April 2026 the Feed-in Tariff rates will be adjusted annually in line with CPI. This will come into effect for the next FIT year (2026 to 2027).

Next steps

To change the inflation indexation metric for the FiT scheme for the 2026 to 2027 financial year the UK government will take the necessary changes to legislation.  

Following this, Ofgem will publish updated CPI-indexed tariff rates for the 2026 to 2027 period, along with any supporting materials.
