RHI update
The DECC have now received the letter from the European Commission providing state approval for the RHI - subject to a reduction in the large biomass tariff.
DECC was planning to launch the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) for non-domestic generators on 30 September 2011. State aid approval is a necessary condition for the scheme to go ahead. As part of that process, the European Commission expressed concerns that the large biomass tariff is set too high.
We have now we have now received the letter from the European Commission providing state approval for the RHI - subject to a reduction in the large biomass tariff. This means we now need to change the regulations and submit to Parliament before the scheme can open to applications. We intend to do this as soon as possible so that the scheme is open before the end of November.
We are unable to launch the scheme as a whole until this process has been completed.
