Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, pursuant to the Answer of 12 January 2015 to Question 219697, if he will revise calculations of value for money delivered by the non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive to take account of falling fossil fuel energy prices.
- Answer
-
The RHI policy has been designed to provide renewable heat, which contributes towards the UK’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED) target, in the most cost effective way. As such, we calculate value for money for the scheme in units of pence per kilowatt hour (p/kWh) of support, and look at comparative costs of producing renewable energy from other renewable sources.
