This year will bring with it dramatic changes in the renewable
heat generation market, providing the opportunity for farmers to
make significant savings when investing in heat generation
technology.
The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), which is due to come into
effect on June 1st 2011 could provide significant savings for those
looking to invest in renewable heat generation.
Developed by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC)
the RHI will offer fixed annual payments, to those installing the
technology. The DECC state that this will result in a 10-12% rate
of return and last for 10-23 years depending on the technology.
Some of the eligible technologies include biomass boilers, ground
and air source heat pumps, solar thermal, bio-diesel and
bio-methane.
Renewable energy experts Fisher German believe that for those
who would like to optimise the benefit from the Renewable Heat
Incentive, it is important to consider the existing physical
heating system together with the economic viability of the wide
range of technologies available.
Rebecca Seaman of Fisher German comments "The RHI is going to
provide a huge incentive for those looking to develop heat energy
from renewable sources. Using the example of a wood fuel boiler, a
large farm with outbuildings using this technology to meet their
heat energy demand could receive approximately £26,000 per
annum from the Renewable Heat Incentive at the proposed tariff
levels.
"Fisher German's renewable energy department can provide help
every step of the way, with experience in undertaking initial
assessments, preparing detailed feasibility studies and project
managing the procurement of suitable technologies to meet your
requirements. The incentive scheme really is too good to miss if
you are considering renewable heat generation".
