The Government will now pay property owners over a 20 year period for the generation of renewable heat energy
The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is the world's first long term financial support for the generation of renewable heat energy.
The RHI was introduced to encourage the uptake of renewable technologies, such as heat pumps and biomass, whilist lowering the UK's carbon emissions.
The Government's Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC) will now pay for the generation of renewable heat.
The RHI has been designed to level the playing field between the cost of renewable and traditional fossil fuel systems.
The introduction of the incentive will see a real change in both industry and individuals inclination towards heat pumps and what has already proven to be a viable renewable technology. The more efficient the renewable system, the more money can be claimed by the property owner.
