This first phase concentrates on the increased tariff for Dom-ASHP and the imposition of Heat Demand Limits which are eligible for RHU payments.
The second package has been delayed due to lack of parliamentary time as a result of Brexit. The second phase is likely to include:
Domestic:
- Mandatory electrical metering.
- Assignment of rights (i.e. RHI payments to third parties to allow funding input).
Non-Domestic:
- Deeming of energy for payment for individual dwellings on Shared Ground Loops (SGL)
- Tariff guarantees for GSHP >100kW

Tariff Guarantees
The HPA have engaged in the discussions in favour of tariff guarantees since their inception some 2-3 years ago. We were instrumental in the threshold for GSHP being reduced from >500kW projects to >100kW on the basis of the investment required. We lobbied long and hard for a similar arrangement for ASHP >300kW (on the basis this was the typical cost ratio difference) but were ultimately unsuccessful.
Our opinion is that recent draft tariff guarantee proposals strike a sensible balance between providing reassurance for both investors but also the limited government funds available and protecting the scheme from imbalance, being rendered impotent or worst premature scheme closure.
