Renewable Energy

The department of energy and climate change has recently announced that grants available to households installing renewable heat technology including heat pumps, biomass and solar heating systems are to double. Vouchers currently available under the renewable heat premium payment scheme have been increased to £2300 for ground source heat pumps, £1300 for air source heat pumps, £2000 for biomass boilers and £600 for solar thermal systems. Thermsaver said “This announcement is a step in the right direction from the government on its commitment to domestic renewable heat technology. Many within the sector had given up hope that there would ever be a domestic renewable heat incentive. It is important that we now get this news out there and let the home owners know that renewable heating is now available.”

Renewable Heat IncentiveThe only condition with this news is that a green deal survey must be completed to gain the increase cash back from the grant. It will be difficult for installer to sell this scheme to consumers where it does not actually exists and the industry is not yet aware of the tariffs. This decision shows a commitment to domestic renewable heat and is in line with what installers asked for as interim, but what the market really needs is more certainty about the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) and the next government announcement will hopefully bring positive news. The scheme was extended in March of this year until the end of March 2014 ahead of the launch of the Domestic RHI.
