Renewable Heat Premium Payment - RHPP

Installations supplying a single domestic premise will not be able to apply for the full Renewable Heat Incentive - RHI - until autumn 2012.

In the meantime, DECC has launched the Renewable Heat Premium Payment (RHPP) for domestic renewable heat generators. This very limited scheme (only £12m available in Phase 1) was to provide householders, whose homes are not heated by mains gas, with a one-off payment towards the cost of installing an eligible renewable heat technology:

• GSHP - £1,250 - for homes without mains gas heating
• ASHP - £850 - for homes without mains gas heating
• Biomass - £950 - for homes without mains gas heating

All householders can also obtain a £300 voucher towards the cost of installing solar thermal panels.

RHPP Administration by EST

The RHPP is administered by Energy Savings Trust. Owners of renewable heat technologies included apply to EST who will pay the RHPP, as a single payment.

Owners will need to complete two surveys.

Installation had to be completed by 31 March 2012 for Phase 1. (Can you have a system designed, installed and commissioned within that time?).

Installers and the installed equipment will need to be MCS certified, or equivalent.

Renewable Heat Premium Payment - RHPP - Phase 2

The first Phase of the RHPP was seen as a stop gap, with limited time for implementation. In practice only £4.8m of the small allocation of £12m was allocated by 31 March 2012. Therefore in the last days of March DECC announced an extension to RRHP, RRHP Phase 2. Although RHPP failed to make an impact, as the amounts on offer for each home were small, the amounts in Phase 2 are just the same. Although £12m was originally offered for households in Phase 1, in Phase 2 the amount has been limited to £7m.

DECC are also offering £8m in a competition for community energy schemes and £10m for social landlords.

RHPP Tax free income

RHPP will be exempt from income tax.
