- 11. Permitted Development Rights (Biomass) Permitted unless: • flue exceeds 1m above the roof height (excluding the chimney) • installed on the principal elevation and visible from a road in buildings in Conservation Areas and World Heritage Sites. www.usea.org.uk
- 12. Renewable Heat Incentive • Still a lot of information unknown • £860 million government investment • 2 phase approach • Heat generating technologies • Systems installed from 15th July 2009 eligible • Accreditation – Product and installer MCS certificated for systems under 45kW • Automatic degression • Administered by Ofgem www.usea.org.uk
- 13. Domestic installations • Domestic RHI tariffs – From October 2012 alongside the Green Deal • New build homes – An RHI tariff will be considered for the 2012 phase • Consultation later in 2011 on the phase 2 RHI tariffs • Likely RHI premium payments (July 2011??) – Solar Thermal - £300/unit – Air Source Heat Pumps - £850/unit – Biomass boilers - £950/unit – Ground Source Heat Pumps - £1250/unit www.usea.org.uk
- 14. RHI premium payments • Installations will be eligible for a RHI tariff • Installed technologies monitored – to enable better understanding • Clear eligibility criteria in order to qualify – a well insulated home based on EPC – agreeing to give feedback on how the equipment performs • Off the gas grid key focus – fuels more expensive and higher carbon content • Details due to be announced May 2011?? www.usea.org.uk
- 15. Planned next steps • Draft regulations closed for comment 5th April 2011 • Clearance through Commission – state aid and technical standards • Aim to get phase 1 tariffs through Parliament in July and open for applications with Ofgem thereafter • Consult on Phase 2 proposals autumn 2011 • Draft regulations for phase 2 spring 2012 • Launch Phase 2 RHI autumn 2012 www.usea.org.uk
