Digression

The next quarterly publications will be published by the 1st December 2016 and if a tariff is digressed in this announcement it will come into effect 1st January 2017.

The current RHI scheme is due to close on 31st March 2017 with a new scheme starting on 1st April 2017, we currently do not have any details on scheme changes however Government intends to reform the RHI to improve value for money; reduce costs; and improve cost control and budget management

Digression

Budget cap £640m £780m £900m £1010m £1150m

Current estimate of £561m £666m £698m £720m £740m

In our opinion:-

The carrot will get smaller

The stick will get bigger

However there will be opportunities

• There is a £300million district heating fund and heat networks targets

We need to bold and brave enough to take and invest in these

opportunities.

What does the future hold?
