UK large solar power is "back on" for developers who can build and supply electricity on-site for industrial customers, British Gas' Chris Morrison said late Wednesday at a seminar held by legal firm SNR Denton. Morrison, head of commercial for British Gas New Energy, a division of Centrica, said there was a viable business in developing large solar photovoltaic plants on land leased from a client who is then supplied directly by the plant, avoiding transmission connection fees. Large PV plants initially attracted a GBP300/MWh ($482/MWh) feed-in tariff under the UK government's FiT scheme, Morrison said. This rate allowed British Gas to build a 4.1 MW solar plant on Toyota-owned land in Derby and supply the company for free in exchange for a 25-year leasehold on the land.
