Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI)

The Renewable Heat Incentive is to go live from 1st April 2011, but what will this mean for us?

The Government proposes the following key aspects of the RHI:

The scheme should support a range of technologies, including air and ground-source heat pumps (and other geothermal energy), solar thermal, biomass boilers, renewable combined heat and power, use of biogas and bioliquids and the injection of biomethane into the natural gas grid.

Support heating at all scales, including households, businesses, offices, public sector buildings and industrial processes in large factories.

Tariff levels have been calculated to bridge the financial gap between the cost of conventional and renewable heat systems at all scales, with additional compensation for certain technologies for an element of the non-financial cost and a rate of return of 12% on the additional cost of renewables, with 6% for solar thermal.

The Energy Act 2008 provides the statutory powers for a renewable heat incentive scheme to be introduced across England, Wales and Scotland. The detailed legal framework will be set out in secondary legislation.

The government are working to have the RHI in place for April 2011.
