Enemalta and its subsidiary company Arms are this week issuing more than €2 million in payments to customers who subscribed to the new renewable energy feed-in tariff (FIT) system launched earlier this year.

Over 9,000 eligible customers have already subscribed to this new procedure and many of them are now receiving their first payments.

Under the scheme, home and business customers with a grid-connected photovoltaic system and a feed-in tariff contract are paid for the excess electricity they generate over and above their consumption on all accounts registered in their name.

Previously, customers had to send in a written request to be credited for the excess energy they added to the grid. That system has now been simplified, and eligible customers will now automatically receive their feed-in tariff payments in their bank accounts, together with an SMS notification.

Over half the number of eligible customers who own photovoltaic systems feeding into Enemalta’s national electricity grid have subscribed to the system.
