"Other changes to the RHI announced on Wednesday include flexible tariffs to control the budget of the scheme, sustainability requirements for new and existing biomass installations, tariff reviews, and the simplification of metering requirements."

Seems to me they can pull the plug on it if they feel like it.

Also heard on the news that there is going to be a review about biomass in general (Scotland has already had a debate on it)

Yes, the 17.3p is calculated to give a 20 years-worth return but paid over 7 years.

So if your rdSAP annual DHW figure is 5,000 kWh and the solar system you install is calculated as being able to supply 50% of that demand then you would be paid 2,500 kWh x 17.3p for a period of 7 years = £432.50 x 7 = £3027.50 (plus any RPI increases).]]> RHI https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10253&Focus=169629#Comment_169629 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10253&Focus=169629#Comment_169629 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 14:07:51 +0000 gustyturbine
