*This program is not a true feed-in tariff as it is alsmost impossible to project revenues from the "tariff". This kind of program is called by critics a FITINO, a feed-in tariff in name only.
The tariffs in the above table are only for the 15-year contract and only an approximation as the payment varies with the time of the day and the season.

bAll sites are paid the initial tariff for the first 12 years. Sites must be beyond 12 miles and bonus for further offshore and deeper than 20 meters.
d Is in operation by Dec 31, 2010.
e Premium paid according to fuel used and for use of "innovative" technology.

http://www.wind-fgw.de/eeg_start.htm
Tariffs degress annually as noted; beginning in 2006 freestanding or ground-mounted PV tariffs degress 6.5%, all other tarfiffs for PV degress 5%.

Solar Photovoltaic 2009
There are many new provisions for Solar PV in 2009.
1. There is now a sliding scale for degression that depends upon the rate of growth from one year to the next.
2009: 1,000-1,500 MW
2010: 1,100-1,700 MW
2011: 1,200-1,900 MW
If growth exceeds this rate, the digression is increased by 1%.
If growth is less than this rate, the digression is decreased by 1%.
2. The facade bonus was eliminated.
3. There are provisions now for self-generation.
4. Systems greater than 100 kW must be capable of being remotely controlled.
5. Operators will be reimbursed for any generation that the grid operator rejects (for systems greater than 100 kW).
Wind 2009
Repowering incentive is paid under the condition that the turbines being replaced are 10 years old or older and that the new capacity is more than twice the original capacity.
Wind 2009
Grid extension obligation for each new renewable installation.
Penalty or compensation in favour of the operator if the grid installation is not sufficient.
Detailed report obligation against the grid operator for regular and transparent reports on the grid status.
via Heinrich Bartelt
a There is a continuum between reference yields that's not explicity stated in the table. All sites are paid the inital price for five years. The initial price is extended two months for every 0.75 x the quotient of the actual yield relative to 150% of th

Solar Photovoltaic 2009
There are many new provisions for Solar PV in 2009.
1. There is now a sliding scale for degression that depends upon the rate of growth from one year to the next.
2009: 1,000-1,500 MW
2010: 1,100-1,700 MW
2011: 1,200-1,900 MW
If growth exceeds this rate, the digression is increased by 1%.
If growth is less than this rate, the digression is decreased by 1%.
2. The facade bonus was eliminated.
3. There are provisions now for self-generation.
4. Systems greater than 100 kW must be capable of being remotely controlled.
5. Operators will be reimbursed for any generation that the grid operator rejects (for systems greater than 100 kW).
Wind 2009
Repowering incentive is paid under the condition that the turbines being replaced are 10 years old or older and that the new capacity is more than twice the original capacity.
Wind 2009
Grid extension obligation for each new renewable installation.
Penalty or compensation in favour of the operator if the grid installation is not sufficient.
Detailed report obligation against the grid operator for regular and transparent reports on the grid status.

Renewable Electricity Tariffs in Great Britain
Existing microgenerators transferred from RO.
Begins April 10, 2010 though systems installed up to that time can qualify.
Micro CHP <2 kW: This tariff is available only for 30,000 microCHP installations. A review will take place when 12,000 units have been installed.*Great Britain's micro FIT program is intended primarily for off-loading consumption. To encourage conservation, the program pays a bonus for electricity exported to the grid.

New Spanish tariffs introduced May 25, 2007.
http://www.wind-works.org/FeedLaws/Spain/SpanishList.html
1. Operator can choose between two systems: fixed or "regulated tariffs", or a premium payment plus the wholesale price.
4. There are additional payments for reactive power supply and voltage support. There are also deductoins for forecasting costs.
5. Fully inflation adjustd because of connection to AET price. The price rises 1.4-1.7% annually says AEE.
6. Bonus system: market price plus ~40% of AET, plus a 10% bonus to switch to the bonus system or ~Euro 0.0365/kWh.
8. Low interest loans for Solar PV Euro 120 million for small installations.
9. First tariffs begain with decree in 1997.
10. There is no price degression.

7. Bonus system in 2005: Euro 0.0693 (0.0365+0.00048+0.031-0.003/kWh). This is slightly higher than fixed payment but depends upon fluctuation market price.

Inflation indexing: Previously 100% with AET. 2007 Decret; 75% to 2012, 50% post 2012.
Note: There are capacity limits on each technology.
€ 500/kW security deposit required; returned when system begins operation. Because of the tariff, banks have finance dup to 88% of project costs. Sun & Wind Energy 1/2009.
6,000 MW of new wind permitted through 2012.
2,400 MW of new CSP permitted through 2013. 2010 limit for CSP raised from 500 MW to 861 MW. After 2010 500 MW of CSP permitted per year. New Energy 6/2009.

*Switzerland has opted for the German system of tariff differentiation by resource intensity. Unlike the French system, the German and Swiss system extend the premium payment for a certain number of months as opposed to dropping the tariff in year 6. Ret**A premium is offered if the costs of "water management" are greater than 20% of the total project costs, according to a formula, increasing up to 50%, at which point the full premium must be paid.

Solar Photovoltaic capped at 5% but will increase to 10% when the average system price falls below 0.60 SWF/kWh. Contracts from 2006 through April 1, 2008 are grandfathered into the program. David Stickelberger, www.swissolar.ch.

***A formula not suited for a table.
Program capped at 0.006% of electricity sales: ~320 million SWF. Cap is 150% of program funds.
Hydro capped at 50% of program.
Wind capped at 30% of program.
Reviewed every 5 years.
*Switzerland has opted for the German system of tariff differentiation by resource intensity. Unlike the French system, the German and Swiss system extend the premium payment for a certain number of months as opposed to dropping the tariff in year 6. Ret**A premium is offered if the costs of "water management" are greater than 20% of the total project costs, according to a formula, increasing up to 50%, at which point the full premium must be paid. Toby Couture
Appears this is the result of the first review after 3 years of program. PV tariffs reduce, others raised. Wind and & Hydro unchanged.
