2. Good news today for anyone planning to install
renewable technology as the government role out a
wave of new money in the form of increased grants.
Announced today by DECC, this will definitely tip the
balance in the decision making by shortening the
paybacl period for those investing in new renewable
heating systems.
The full statement and comment by Minister Greg
Barker reads:
Householders across Great Britain will be able to get
even more cash for renewable heating kit, the

3. The money off vouchers available under the
Renewable Heat Premium Payment (RHPP) scheme
have been increased to £2,300 for ground source
heat pumps, £2,000 for biomass boilers, £1,300 for
air source heat pumps and £600 for solar thermal
systems.
The RHPP scheme, first launched in July 2011, is
designed to encourage householders to switch to
renewable heat from traditional heating systems by
offering money off the cost of the equipment. The
scheme is targeted at those living off the gas
grid, where most money on bills and carbon can be
saved.

4. “Over 10,000 householders have already taken
advantage of money off renewable heating kit and we
want to see even more consumers stepping up to the
plate and getting on board.
“But I want to go even further. I want to kick start this
exciting new market for consumer renewable heat
technologies.
“This time limited, big increase in the value of
vouchers for hardworking people who want to do
something positive to install money saving green
heating in their homes, should be a real boost for this
growing green sector.”

5. The scheme was extended in March this year until
the end of March 2014 ahead of the launch of a
Renewable Heat Incentive for householders, with
around £12million up for grabs.
Alongside changes to the voucher
values, householders will now be required to
undertake a Green Deal assessment before
submitting a claim to the Energy Saving Trust to
redeem their voucher. This will help householders
think about how renewable heat could fit with energy
efficiency improvements for their home and ensure
they are advised on choosing the right technology for
them.

6. The additional voucher values are intended to reflect
the cost of a Green Deal assessment, as well as the
cost of getting these technologies installed in homes.
Householders can also use the Green Deal to pay for
some of the cost through savings on their energy bill.
The increased voucher values and Green Deal
assessment requirement will kick in for any
applications submitted today onwards.
