Have your say on future support for low carbon heat

The government is consulting on options to provide future support for low carbon heat, beyond the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI).

The proposals at a glance:

• A Green Gas Support Scheme: increasing the proportion of green gas in the grid through support for biomethane injection
• A Clean Heat Grant: support for heat pumps and in certain circumstances biomass, through an upfront capital grant to help address the barrier of upfront cost
• Budget control and financial management of the spending proposals for green gas and buildings technologies
• Participant compliance

In the March 2020 budget, the government announced an extension to the domestic RHI for a further year to 31 March 2022, and the introduction of a flexible, third allocation of tariff guarantees on the non-domestic RHI. The non-domestic RHI will close to new applications on 31 March 2021.

The consultation closes on 7^th July – you can view it here.
