Good News for Homeowners
The RHI Tariff increase confirmed!
As of 20th September 2017, the Government have increased the Renewable Heat Incentive tariffs, which is excellent news for those homeowners looking to change their current heating system to either Air or Ground Source Heat Pump technology.
Tariffs confirmed:
ASHP – from 7.63 to 10.18p / kWhr
GSHP – from 19.64 to 19.86p / kWhr
The Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (Domestic RHI) is a government financial incentive to promote the use of renewable heat. Switching to heating systems that use eligible energy sources can help the UK reduce its carbon emissions and meet its renewable energy targets.
People who join the scheme can receive quarterly payments for seven years for the amount of clean, green renewable heat it’s estimated their system produces. Since opening in April 2014, the scheme has already seen thousands of people successfully join and receive payments . You can see some of the completed Reina Group Heat Pump case studies here.
Other important changes involve new heat demand limits, which are put in place to ensure that payments are offered on the renewable portion of the heat demand, in line with the current schemes rules. Other changes have also involved new regulations requiring heat pumps to have electricity metering arrangements installed. This will allow for better accreditation applications for the devices, and enable customers to better monitor their heating systems performance.
These new changes mean that there is more incentive than ever for homeowners to invest in heat pumps. With increased financial incentives, not only can users expect to get increased return on investment, but also continue to help encourage greener heating solutions and make their property more environmentally friendly.
