The financial support scheme is designed to encourage people to use renewable heat technologies, to cut carbon emissions, help meet the 2020 renewables target and save money on fuel bills.
The world’s first long-term financial support programme for renewable heat. The government launched the Renewable Heat Incentive in November 2011 with a scheme for the non-domestic sector that provides payments to industry, businesses, public sector organisations as well as heat networks. The Renewable Heat Incentive is the main scheme of heat strategy and pays participants of the scheme that generate and use renewable energy to heat their buildings.
By increasing the generation of heat from renewable energy sources instead of fossil fuels, the RHI helps the UK reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet the target for reducing the effect of climate change.
