Government proposes new Smart Export Guarantee for suppliers and small-scale renewables
Current± | January 08, 2019
The government has unveiled proposals to introduce a new ‘Smart Export Guarantee’ (SEG) for small-scale renewables, legislating for large suppliers to essentially purchase green power exported to the grid. Designed to replace the current export tariff which closes to new applicants from 31 March 2019, the SEG will see all large energy suppliers defined as those with more than 250,000 customers offer small-scale generators a price per kilowatt hour for all exported power.
