Renewable Heat Incentive for ground source heat pumps
Ground source heat pump systems are renewable heating and cooling solutions with a lifetime of 40+ years, low running costs, a large cost saving in displaced fuel and a financial incentive scheme to support it. The incentive scheme available is the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) which was created by the Department of Energy & Climate […]
Green Deal – long-term or short-term benefits?
It has been announced during a recent press release by the DECC that “Due to overwhelming popular demand, the Green Home Improvement Fund is closed for applications with immediate effect”. The Green Deal Home Improvement fund only opened to application on 9th June 2014. The article stipulated that “All applications received prior to the fund […]

Domestic RHI tariffs give boost to heating technologies
The tariff levels for the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme, due to commence next spring have been set at 7.3p/kWh for air source heat pumps; 12.2p/kWh for biomass boilers; 18.8p/kWh for ground source heat pumps and at least 19.2p/kWh for solar thermal. Householders will be able to invest in a wide range of technologies […]
DECC holds consultation on increasing tariffs for renewable heat
The DECC (Department of Energy and Climate Change) has held a consultation to increase the level of some of the tariffs in its Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme (RHI) to increase the use of heating technologies in the non-domestic sector. If the new proposals are to go ahead ground source heat pumps, large biomass and solar […]
DECC announces domestic Renewable Heat Incentive Levels
The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) have recently announced the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) tariff levels which have been set at; – Solar thermal: 19.2 p/kWh (minimum) – Ground source heat pumps: 18.8 p/kWh – Biomass boilers: 12.2 p/kWh – Air source heat pumps: 7.3 p/kWh The DECC said that the solar […]
RHI tariff set to double for ground source heat pumps
The DECC (Department of Energy & Climate Change) is proposing to more than double the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) tariff for large-scale ground heat-pump installations. This could see the tariff rise from 8.9 to 10.2p/kWh of renewable heat produced. It will be applied to 1350 h of peak capacity and fall to 2.3p/kWh thereafter. Hence, the […]
Renewable Heat Incentive accelerating demand for biomass
The future for biomass heating is looking increasingly bright due to considerable Heat Incentive payments and because it has a number of advantages over other renewables. In particular it is not weather dependent like solar and wind and so to an extent is more predictable and much easier for heating engineers to calculate the likely […]

Guide for maximising benefits from the RHI
The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) provides annual subsidy payments over 20 years for the generation of heating by renewable technologies at a level designed to remove the barriers of installation. Those generating heat and hot water from heat pumps, solar-thermal solutions, biomass and bio-methane boilers can be paid up to 8.5p/kWh under the RHI with […]
Consultation to improve slow uptake of RHI
The renewable heat incentive (RHI) has had a slow take-up, with only 458 installations of renewable heat systems carried out. A consultation on plans to extend the scheme which has been available to commercial properties for the last year, to the domestic market and to more commercial buildings closes today. According to Building Magazine, Energy […]
Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) Tariff Proposals Announced- Act now!
Proposals for the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) have today been published by the Department for Energy & Climate Change (DECC). Key proposals within the announcement are as follows: Indicative tariff ranges for air source heat pumps 6.9 – 11.5p/kWh Indicative tariff ranges for ground source heat pumps 12.5 – 17.3p/kWh Homeowners will receive payments over […]
Renewable Heat Incentive is first in the World
The government has announced details of its Renewable Heat incentive, the first in the world, aimed at reducing carbon emissions from energy used to produce heat-about half the UK total. Phase 1 for the non residential buildings will be introduced in the autumn of 2012 to coincide with the advert of the Green Deal. Air […]
Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI)
The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) have announced that the Renewable Heat Incentive will be introduced in 2001-2012 with £860 of funding. However specific details of the implementation are not yet explicit. In addition the Green deal, due to be introduced may also assist in improving home insulation strategies or strategies to improve […]
