  3. Renewable Heat Incentive • It’s going ahead • Includes solar thermal • Covers all sectors - householders, communities, public, commercial and industrial • Introduced in June 2011 • As part of SR have to make some cuts, amounting to 20% by 2014/15, still represents £850 million in investment • We remain committed to the ambition of moving from 1% to 12% renewable heat

  4. Renewable Heat Incentive: Next steps… • Now Spending Review agreed need to work through the detail of what this means for the policy and levels of support • Need to determine a lot of difficult policy and design issues • Expect to be in a position to announce the details of the scheme, including RHI tariffs and technologies supported, before the end of this year • We will engage with stakeholders over the next couple of months

  5. Feed-in Tariffs • Continues as it is • Reviewed in 2012, unless higher than expected deployment requires an early review • The Review of the level of support will be with a view to reducing projected costs in 2014/15 by at least £40 million, i.e. 10% to maximise value for money • Any changes at that point would not affect existing generators, only new entrants • Details of what would trigger an early review will be published soon
