As had been previously set out, January 1st 2016 was to be the date in which the new Solar FiT regime would come into force. The new feed-in tariff rates have been published by the energy regulator Ofgem and once the new regime begins, the rate for a standard installation up to 4kW in size will be 12.03p/kWh.

A DECC spokesman confirmed to Solar Power Portal that these changes would require 40 parliamentary days. Parliament is scheduled to adjourn for Christmas between 17 December and 5 January 2016, and later between 11 February and 22 February 2016; thus the earliest date we can expect the new regime to come into force now is February 25th 2016.

​Almost two months later than the initial start date. That would be the earliest date possible unless they go back on the 40 parliamentary days proposition. Realistically, it is looking to be March 2016 that we will see the new regime come into effect.

Due to continued success and expansion of CDS Electrical, we have moved to bigger and better premises in order to facilitate the explosive growth we are currently experiencing. 

On the 28th September 2015 we officially moved and we are now operating fully from our brand new offices which are located at the following address;

Unit F1, Chaucer Business Park,
Polegate, East-Sussex,
BN26 6JF

All other contact details including telephone, fax and e-mail addresses will remain the same. Take a look at the outside of our new premises above. We'll update with you a complete album of the inside too once we've finished kitting the place out.

CDS Team

​We like to keep things fresh and up-to-date here at CDS Electrical and as part of that ethos we have decided to update our website ready for a new year that is fast approaching.

We have kept our logo and corporate colour styling the same, but have opted for a flatter approach that is in keeping with the latest website design trends. 

​This coming week; from Monday 9th November until Sunday 15th November it is 'Electrical Fire Safety Week'. A nationwide campaign that was devised by the Fire Rescue Service to help raise awareness of one of the biggest causes of accidental house fires in the country.
Electrical appliances have become a staple of the modern home and year on year we are adding more and more electrical devices leading to a multitude of potential threats, with one of the main culprits being socket overloading.
​
Homes and businesses when first built were wired to suit the needs of electrical appliances at the time. However, as our lives have evolved and changed we now have more electrical devices than ever before but yet still the same amount of available plug sockets.
In addition to overloaded sockets, another culprit of house fires is of course faulty electrical goods. Damaged or badly configured electrics can lead to potentially fatal electric shocks and of course fires.
