Export Tariff

The Export tariff is the amount paid on top of the generation tariff. It is set at 3.1p universally for systems of all sizes. The difference with small domestic installations and larger commercial installations is that an export meter will be fitted to keep acurate information of the amount of electricity exported and the amount used at the site itself.
