CLA relieved at Government offer of renewable heat support

The CLA today (20 October) expressed relief over the Government's offer of support for renewable heat by honouring the commitment for the Renewable Heat Incentive.

The Association said the Government's plan to introduce a Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), as announced in the Comprehensive Spending Review, is welcomed by businesses and individuals who are able to generate heat from clean green sources, such as solar thermal panels and ground source heat pumps.

 

CLA President William Worsley said: "The proposals for a Renewable Heat Incentive as set out in the Comprehensive Spending Review are really good news for commercial and domestic producers and consumers. Heat accounts for half of UK carbon emissions, and saving carbon through renewable heat is far cheaper than through the generation of renewable electricity."

 

Mr Worsley added the incentive would also provide other environmental benefits. He said: "The RHI will transform the woodfuel market, resulting in better management for Britain's woodlands and helping to create and manage wildlife effectively."
