UK Government Plans to Replace RHI with Clean Heat Grant

The UK government has announced that it intends to replace the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) with a new Clean Heat Grant aimed at helping households and businesses to decarbonize through technology and push the country towards its net-zero target for 2050. The RHI was put in place as a means to convert 12% of UK homes to renewable heat by the end of 2020. The government recently announced that the non-domestic RHI scheme is to close for new applicants from April 2021. The RHI for households and organizations has been extended until March 2022.
