Introduction to financial incentives for renewable energy and energy saving
There is currently one main financial incentive available for home and business owners who want to improve the energy efficiency of their building, or generate their own renewable heat or electricity:
The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) aims to help Britain meet its renewable energy and carbon reduction targets. There are two elements to the scheme:
- Domestic RHI, which is a boiler replacement scheme. It aims to make the cost of renewable heat comparable to the more traditional alternatives for those off the mains gas network. It was launched in April 2014
- Non-domestic RHI: this is an incentive scheme for all non-domestic installations.
