There's no point contacting them about installations that have already been made. Renewable Heat Premium Payment covers solar thermal for all homes meeting minimum criteria and heat pumps for homes off the gas grid.

Regarding RHI they say "People who have installed the kit under the Premium Payments will also be eligible for support through the RHI providing they meet the eligibility criteria of the full RHI scheme, as will anybody else who has installed eligible equipment since 15 July 2009." RHI is still "we don't know when".

New build will be eligible if the application is submitted by the householder and not the housebuilder; EST can only make payments to individuals, not companies.

For a new build homeowner to be eligible, they would need copies of the documentation (commissioning certs, quotations etc) that would normally be held by the housebuilder so some collaboration will be necessary.

In an earlier post, I suggested that any commissioning was delayed until after Aug 1; the actual date turned out to be July 21, the date of the RHPP announcement.

I feel for those who commissioned between the end of May and July 21; they have lost out on the RHPP duly entirely to Government failing (again) to meet its own published schedule for delivering the RHPP policy.

Of course, without any certainty on the eligibility rules for the full RHI, or the available tariffs (although they will be significantly lower than those published in the Feb 2010 consultation, now considered 'ancient history' by DECC) it is hard to see how the RH PP will incentivise anybody; instead, it will merely reward those who were installing the technology anyway. Everybody else will wait to see how the RHI/Green Deal fits together.

Clearly, DECC is far more concerned about upsetting the Treasury than the renewable heat industry. It will be interesting to see whether they can get all 15m allocated under the RHPP: I suspect not.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=6753&Focus=114145#Comment_114145 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=6753&Focus=114145#Comment_114145 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 16:15:30 +0100 DamonHD https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=6753&Focus=115266#Comment_115266 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=6753&Focus=115266#Comment_115266 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 17:24:27 +0100 Brianwilson http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/Resources/Energy-saving-news/Renewable-energy2/DECC-RHI-is-important-for-reducing-carbon-emissions]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=6753&Focus=115283#Comment_115283 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=6753&Focus=115283#Comment_115283 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 22:42:08 +0100 RobinB https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=6753&Focus=115294#Comment_115294 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=6753&Focus=115294#Comment_115294 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 09:04:35 +0100 Brianwilson Obviously from your comment you were aware so can you explain please where the jobs are and how the £billions will be spent , my concern is how will it benefit health and environment?

I was looking only from a rather selfish viewpoint, hoping for news on the long-delayed RHI payments for those like me who have installed heat pumps and solar thermal and had been told to expect payments to start last April.

I am definitely not qualified to comment on "where the jobs are" nor "how to spend billions".

However it is a teeny tiny % of the cost of our installation and I want to know how 'BIG' and what the extra meters will look like first as I dont want the possibility of some unnecessary junk bolted to my brand new house inside or out for the benefit of a measly £300, which is probably negated anyway at the moment by the negotiable quotes offered from solar providers right now which is only going to get more competitive over the next year.
I think we will give it a miss purely on this unknown monitoring issue.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=6753&Focus=118659#Comment_118659 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=6753&Focus=118659#Comment_118659 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 10:34:03 +0100 john_connett http://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/meeting_energy/renewable_ener/incentive/incentive.aspx
