Domestic RHI scheme delayed. RHPP Extended
April 2013
Good and bad news for the domestic RHI. Starting with the bad news, the
timetable has slipped with the latest information stating that the
Domestic RHI policy document will now be released in Summer 2013, and
Phase II will start in Spring 2014. The good news is that the RHPP or
Renewable Heat Premium Payment will now be extended until the RHI
starts and so it will be possible
for all eligible heating systems (pellet, chip, and log) to get a £950
grant towards the installation of a system. For smaller biomass systems
this still represents a significant proportion of the appliance cost,
and combining this with fuel savings gives a very strong economic
argument to switch from Oil and LPG to biomass.
Renove Biomass courses to start in April.
Renove's informative courses will begin
again in
April 2013. As well as client orientated courses, there will be a
series of foundation courses intended
for heating engineers keen to start installation of the technology.
Currently planned are:
Wednesday
3rd April - Introduction to the RHI and Biomass
One day course
Tuesday
17-18 April - Foundations Course Biomass Heating
Two day course
