RHI Update Provided by Department of Energy & Climate Change
Non-Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme
As at 30 September 2014, a total of 8,949 applications to join the scheme had been received since it launched in November 2011, with a combined capacity of 1,473 MW.
Of the 8,949 applications, 6,061 have been accredited with a combined capacity of 1,038 MW, with 4,981 of these accreditations receiving a payment for heat generated under the scheme.
In Q3 of 2014 there were a total of 2,036 applications to join the non-domestic scheme being 12 per cent higher than Q2 of 2014, and more than double the number of applications seen in Q3 in 2013.
This increase was largely driven by a high number of applications received for small biomass boilers with over 85% of both full applications. Small and medium biomass boilers combined are responsible for 94 per cent of all applications.
Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme
As at 30 September 2014 there had been 12,301 unique applications to join the scheme (2,297 from new installations installed since 9 April 2014), of which 10,048 had been accredited.
Of the 10,048 accreditations, 1,755 were from new installations (systems installed on or after the domestic RHI scheme launch date 9 April 2014) and 8,293 were from legacy applications (systems installed between 15 July 2009 and launch of the scheme).
As at 30 September 2014, 37% (3,711) of all accreditations were for air source heat pumps, 26% (2,580) were for solar thermal, 22% (2,208) were for biomass boilers, with ground source heat pumps accounting for 15% (1,549) of accreditations.
Of the 1,755 accreditations from new installations, 31% (540) were for air source heat pumps, 20% (344) were for solar thermal, 44% (778) were for biomass boilers, with ground source heat pumps accounting for 5% (93) of accreditations
