As I see it DECC are so busy trying to figure out how to stop people 'gaming' the system that they keep painting themselves into ridiculous corners with poorly thought through conditions.

Each condition creates another anomaly that needs more conditions to address.

In the end it is self defeating in that these all become serious disincentives for people to install renewables in the first place - which is the whole point of the exercise but a fact which DECC seem to have completely lost sight of.

I'm currently looking at the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) and, if anything, it is even worse than FITs.
