DETI have just announced changes to the Renewable Heat Incentive in Northern Ireland.

SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS –

Provision will be made in the scheme legislation to introduce a tiered tariff structure for new non domestic biomass installations from November 2015 where the first 1314 peak hours be paid at the standard tariff and hours thereafter reducing to 1.5 pence per kWh.

Provision will be made in the scheme legislation to extend the existing 6.4p non domestic biomass tariff to installations up to 199kw in size from November 2015.

A cap of 400,000 kWh will be applied as a maximum annual heat payment. Any additional heat over this cap will not be eligible for payments.
