# The Feed-in Tariffs Order 2012, Article 30: Payments by the Authority

Extent: E+W+S

(1) Where a licensee is given notice that it is entitled to receive a levelisation payment, subject to paragraphs (2) and (3) the Authority must make that payment as soon as possible after the notice is given.
(2) If a licensee fails to make a levelisation payment to the Authority by the date on which it is due (a “late payment”), the Authority may suspend in whole or in part any levelisation payment due to that licensee until the late payment has been made.
(2A) Where the late payment is in respect of a periodic levelisation payment and article 30A does not apply, if the payment is received by the Authority—
(a) before the Authority makes an annual levelisation calculation for that FIT year under article 26, the payment shall be included in the Authority’s calculations under that article; or
(b) after the Authority makes an annual levelisation calculation for that FIT year under article 26, the payment shall be distributed in accordance with article 30D(2).
(3) If the Authority believes that the amount in the levelisation fund will not be sufficient to enable it to make a levelisation payment out of the fund, the Authority may defer all or part of that payment until there is a sufficient amount in the levelisation fund.
