The Feed-in-tariff (FIT) scheme is still in force, for now. The UK Government has confirmed that the scheme will cease to apply for new projects after April 2019. Today, it is only available for projects capable of producing less than 5MW. New projects attract a subsidy per KWh for electricity produced. The overall cost of new accreditations under the FIT scheme to the government has been capped however. FITs awarded before the end of July 2012 are paid for 25 years and, after 1 August 2012, for 20 years. These subsidies are index-linked.
