This
government incentive is again the first of
its kind, never before has a system been in
place that has paid you for the heat you generate,
which is exactly what it does. The scheme is
split into two separate categories; domestic
and non domestic.
For Non Domestic Installs
The non domestic RHI payment scheme is off and running and has been
since November of 2011. Customers of installed renewable technologies
that generate heat, like in the list below:
|
|
 Solar
Thermal
Ground
Source Heat Pump
Air
Source Heat Pump
Biomass
Boiler
Will be paid a set amount per kwh of thermal energy they create very
much like the feed in tariff does with electricity

For
Domestic Installs
The domestic scheme is not yet up and running in the like the non domestic
scheme is, although it is intended to mirror it, only with more favorable
rates. The launch of the scheme has been delayed due to various complexities,
but we are now told to expect a launch date sometime in the summer
of 2013.
The scheme is designed to allow for a more whole-house approach to
heat production and energy saving. The Department for Energy and Climate
Change will consult on the RHI tariffs later in the year. But it shall
be very similar to the Feed In Tariff in the sense that each customer
with either:
Solar
Thermal
Ground
Source Heat Pump
Air
Source Heat Pump
Biomass
Boiler
Will receive payments for every kwh of thermal energy produced
Those who have taken up the RHI Premium Payment will be eligible for
RHI tariffs, as will anyone else who has had eligible equipment installed
since July 2009 (exceptions apply if a grant has been received which
contributed to the direct costs of an installation).
A further adaptation of the RHI is the Renewable heat premium payments
scheme
Renewable Heat Premium Payments:
What is it all about?
The Renewable Heat Premium Payment voucher scheme is a government scheme
that gives money to householders to help them buy renewable heating
technologies – solar thermal panels, heat pumps and biomass boilers.
This is a short-term scheme making one-off payments that will also
allow us to learn more about what people think of these technologies
and how they perform in a variety of conditions.
On 26 March, DECC announced a second phase to the Renewable Heat Premium
Payment scheme, which will provide further short term support for installations
of renewable heat technologies in the household sector. The scheme,
operated by the Energy Saving Trust opened to applications on 1st May
2012.
Phase 1
This phase of the scheme ran until 31st March 2012. Regardless of when
customers applied for or received their voucher, and in order to be
eligible to receive their grant, all completed claims should have arrived
at the address printed on the voucher (Energy Saving Trust, Edinburgh)
before midnight on 31st March 2012 in order to be eligible for payment.
Phase 2
Under the new voucher scheme, homes not heated by mains gas will be
able to apply for grants for air-to-water-source and ground and water
source heat pumps, biomass boilers and solar thermal. All householders
can apply for grants for solar thermal. There are minimum energy efficiency
criteria, and householders must agree to complete customer questionnaires,
as well as making provision for the installation of a meter to monitor
their energy use and performance of their heating system
How
much are these grants worth?
