When Which? does something so well, why reinvent the wheel? If you're interested to find out if renewables are for you and how you could benefit from the government's Renewable Heat Incentive scheme, then this has to be the 'go-to' resource as you start your investigations.

With RHI scheme changes due to be announced in the spring we know there are changes afoot which will impact on the amount anyone can receive in RHI payments, so we'd advise anyone considering a move to renewable energy heating to act now to avoid missing out.

With government spending on the Renewable Heat Incentive only committed until April 2016, and its future plans for RHI or alternative green incentives uncertain, the time to act is now.

This month we are celebrating the first birthday of the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme, but has it been a Happy Birthday? Here at Yorkshire Heat Pumps we certainly think so.

Yorkshire Heat Pumps has been in the press again this week talking about the quarterly rush to complete installations to beat RHI tariff degression.

This week Ofgem has announced the domestic RHI tariffs which will come into effect on April 1st 2015. There are winners and losers, with inflationary RPI increases for some and the degression 'super trigger' reached for biomass which sees its tariff tumble.

In their latest weekly data update, Ofgem has indicated that domestic RHI approvals have passed the 1000 mark, while air source continues to top the table.

The Department of Energy & Climate Change has announced figures at the end of the first month of domestic RHI, indicating a steady flow of applications and air source as the lead technology to date.
