Renewable Heat Incentive: C4E's Consultation Response

This is our response to the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) consultation on the anticipated Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive and Phase 2 of the non-domestic RHI. All our points involve possible implications of the consultation on biomass heating systems and in particular focus on the self supply of energy crops (e.g. willow and miscanthus) or from undermanaged woodlands.

Renewable Heat Incentive: Our 10 point summary

The aim of the RHI is to increase the amount of renewable energy production in the UK by encouraging initially non-domestic users to install renewable energy technologies for heating buildings or for processing activities. The scheme is managed by OFGEM, the energy regulator. Here’s our 10 point summary to get you geared up and ready to go.
