On 1st February 2010, the Government published a consultation on the proposed design of the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme, which it aims to introduce in April 2011. The consultation seeks views on a number of aspects of the proposed scheme, including tariff levels.
Following research published for the Renewable Energy Strategy consultation last year on the prospects for renewable heat in the UK, the DECC commissioned further research by NERA and AEA on the UK supply curve for renewable heat. The purpose of the analysis was to validate and expand existing analysis on the potential deployment for renewable heat technologies leading up to 2020 and to look into the potential contribution of the industrial and commercial/public sectors. The data resulting from this study has played a key role in helping to design the structure of the Renewable Heat Incentive. The report has now been published and is also available on the Renewable Energy Strategy web pages. The Impact Assessment, which accompanies the RHI consultation document, is also available on the RHI consultation web page.
