  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order, which extends to Great Britain, amends the Feed-in Tariffs Order 2012 (S.I. 2012/ 2782) (“the 2012 Order”).\nThe Order removes the ability of a prospective generator to apply for preliminary accreditation of an installation for feed-in tariffs before the installation is commissioned by inserting a cut-off date of 30th September 2015 into article 9 (preliminary accreditation) of the 2012 Order, so that the article only applies in respect of applications received by the Authority on or before that date.\nThe Order also amends article 11 (pre-registration of community energy installations) of the 2012 Order so that where an application for pre-registration is received by the Authority by 30th September 2015, when the installation is subsequently accredited for feed-in tariffs, the generator will no longer always receive the tariff applicable at the date of receipt of the application for pre-registration, but will instead receive the tariff applicable at the later of that date, or the date on which the installation is commissioned.\nAn impact assessment has been prepared in respect of the review of the Feed-in Tariffs scheme and can be obtained from the Department of Energy and Climate Change, 3 Whitehall Place, London SW1A 2AW or on www.gov.uk .",
