New statistics from the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) show that the UK’s Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is now helping to warm 25,000 homes, as consumers wake-up to the benefits of installing renewable technologies, such as heat pumps, solar thermal, and biomass systems.
Amber Rudd MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Climate Change, said: “We have seen an enthusiastic response to our world-first Renewable Heat Incentive. It’s very encouraging that in only a number of months, 25,000 people have already taken up the incentive – proving that installing renewable heating can be a real, everyday choice for people’s homes.
“The RHI aims to help kick-start the renewable heat market, to make it attractive to investment from businesses as well as individuals, so they can enjoy the benefits of renewable heating in terms of having warmer premises or homes, lower bills and reducing their emissions.”
The DECC team have been running a series of Roadshows this month in a bid to raise awareness of the RHI scheme; there are still a few left, so spread the word!
- 17th March in Bristol
- 18th March in Exeter
- 19th March at the Eden Project
- 25th March at the Energy Fair in Llandudno
