UK energy suppliers unveil mixed bag of solar export tariffs

January 3, 2020

Energy suppliers in the UK have unveiled a mixed bag of tariffs for domestic solar exports, with O&G major Shell’s supply business unveiling a tariff of just 0.001p/kWh.

Under new legislation, dubbed the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), UK based energy retailers with more than 150,000 customers must offer an export tariff for households with solar installations fitted after 31 March 2019.
