All technologies were initially awarded 1 ROC per MWh, but following a review in 2007, a four-level banding was introduced. Tidal was in the "emerging" band, and received increased support, at 2 ROCs/MWh. [17] A further banding review in 2012 increased support for tidal power to 5 ROCs/MWh, subject to a 30 MW limit per generating station. [18]
