See the article on <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Feed-in_tariff#:~:text=A%20feed%2Din%20tariff%20(FIT,contracts%20to%20renewable%20energy%20producers.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Feed-in Tariffs (FITS)<\/a> for details of the current payments scheme for renewable electricity generation. Note that to qualify for the feed-in tariff, the installation work must be done using an installer who is certified under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microgenerationcertification.org\/\">Microgeneration Certification Scheme<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Renewable Heat Incentive<\/h3>\n<p>Similarly, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/domestic-renewable-heat-incentive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI)<\/a>, announced in March 2021, replaces previous grants for installation of renewable heat technologies. Phase 1 of the RHI started in 2021 and focused on industry and the commerical and public sectors. Phase 2 for the domestic sector was launched in spring 2024. A range of renewable heat technologies are eligible for the RHI, including solar thermal, air- and ground-source heat pumps, and biomass-fuelled boilers.<\/p>\n<p>The incentive is a system of tariff payments set according to the renewable technologies installed and the amounts of heat they produce. Payments will be made over a 7-year period for the domestic RHI. Check with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ofgem.gov.uk\/environmental-programmes\/domestic-renewable-heat-incentive\">Ofgem website<\/a> for more information about eligibility and payment levels for the RHI. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energysavingtrust.org.uk\/\">Energy Saving Trust website<\/a> also has more details on the domestic RHI scheme.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Until 2020, the cost of installing many types of renewable energy technologies was assisted by&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":20094,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-green-energy"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Incentives for renewables - Palae Energy PLC<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Until 2020, the cost of installing many types of renewable energy technologies was assisted by government grants.
