DECC grants for green heaters Householders across the country could receive up to £1,250 of government funding to help towards the cost of installing renewable heating systems such as biomass boilers, air and ground source heat pumps and solar thermal panels. The Government’s new £15mn Renewable Heat Premium Payment scheme - which opened for applications last month until March 2012 - will support up to 25,000 installations. The scheme will be mainly focused at around 4mn households in Great Britain not connected to mains gas, which have to rely on higher carbon forms of heating which also tend to be more expensive than gas, such as heating oil and electric fires. The Premium Payment scheme will be run by the Energy Saving Trust. Participants will be asked to provide detailed feedback on their experience through a set of surveys. This will allow the government to gather information to better understand renewable heat technologies. The government says it will also provide, for a significant sample of participants, additional meters for their heating equipment. This will provide more detailed information so DECC can compare manufacturers’ and installers’ claims about performance with real data on energy use.
