Today (30 July) the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has introduced an online calculator to give households a clear idea of the payments they could receive if they install a renewable heating system.
The calculator instantly shows people how much money they may be paid through the scheme, according to what type of renewable heating system they install.
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Climate Change, Amber Rudd MP said: “The Domestic RHI helps households offset the cost of installing renewable heating systems. From today, by entering just a few simple details into this calculator, people can now instantly see how much they could be paid through the scheme.”
Anna Livesey, from the Sustainable Energy Association, said: “We support the launch of the DECC RHI calculator as a simple way to provide consumers with an estimate of RHI payments. The calculator will help raise general awareness of the domestic RHI and support installers in explaining the scheme to their customers.”
