Energy and Climate Change written question – answered at on 26 April 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change if he will commission research on the potential relationship between the frequency of feed-in tariff payments and the sustainability of debt repayments made by recipients on loans taken out to finance microgeneration projects under the feed-in tariff scheme.
The Department has not conducted research into this particular aspect of the feed-in tariffs (FITs) scheme. The legislation requires payments to be made at least quarterly but suppliers can choose to make payments more frequently. All aspects of FITs, including administration, will be considered as part of the comprehensive review currently under way.

If it is indeed the case that payments are required to be made quarterly, then it would seem that at least one of the major suppliers is breaking the law.
