FDF Response to Consultation on the proposed RHI financial support scheme

April 2010

The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is a plan to introduce a series of tariffs to incentivise the use of renewable heat in the domestic, public, commercial, and industrial sectors.

Key Points

  • Need early indications of how the Government intends to finance the RHI.
  • To minimise costs of delivering the RHI there should be greater reference and focus on energy efficiency.
  • To minimise costs and to facilitate more rapid adoption, allow RHI support for conversions of existing combustion plant and allow duel fuel firing.
