Renewable energy industry welcomes UK heat scheme

The renewable energy industry has welcomed the government’s scheme to subsidise renewable heat production, which opens today.

The world’s first Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) provides payments for heat generated from renewable technologies, including biomass boilers, solar thermal equipment and heat pumps installed since 15 July 2009.

Recipients will be paid up to 7.9p per kWh for biomass boilers, 8.5p per kWh for solar thermal and up to 4.5p per kWh for heat pumps.

The government estimates the RHI will cut UK carbon emissions by 43 million tonnes by 2020 — equivalent to the annual carbon emitted by 19 typical new gas power stations.

Up to 112,000 installations of renewable heat technology in the commercial and public sectors are expected by 2020, as well as 14,000 industrial installations.

Organisations will be able to apply to Ofgem for support under the scheme from Monday 28 November and will receive payments on a quarterly basis for heat generated over 20 years.
