Mendonca, M 'The UK feed-in tariff: a user survey' (pdf, 100k. March 2011)

This study explores the implementation of the UK feed-in tariff (FIT), as experienced by those who are working with it directly, whether they are householders, community activists, social entrepreneurs, farmers, investors, or industry or government figures. It looks at the responses of these groups to the opportunity to make a cost-effective investment in small-scale renewable electricity generation, as well as the main issues arising from the first year of the policy's life.
