3. Solar Photovoltaic (PV)
Installation of PV systems to Our Services
convert sunlight into
electricity
This electricity can be used
on site or exported back to
the grid system
Solar Thermal
Installation of Solar
collectors to convert the
radiant heat from the sun to
hot water for Space and
Water heating
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are used to
convert latent heat stored in
the ground, water or air to
high temperature water for
space and water heating
4. Energy Efficient
Lighting Our Services
Installation Lighting schemes
which are designed to reduce
running costs, reduce
maintenance costs and reduce
heat gain in buildings
Improved energy
control
Installation of control systems
to provide more effective use of
the energy provision
Heat Recovery
Ventilation
Changing the air in buildings is
a major heat loss factor
By installing systems which
preheat the replacement air
using the exhaust is a great way
of making savings.
5. Feed in Tariff Update
Feed in tariff for PV systems Where are we going?
Based on a typical 4kw peak installation
Price per kWh Generated
0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 40 42 44 46 48 50
12 December 2011 43.3p
DECC lost their appeal
03 March 2012 21p therefore all installations
between 12 Dec 11 and 3
3 April Deadline for responding March 12 will get 43.3p rate
to DECC consulatation
01 July 2012 13.6p to 16.5p
The level at this point depends on number of installs in March & April
01 October 2012 -5% (14p)
Questions under review by DECC
10% regression on a six monthly basis - should it be 5% or a
01 April 2013 -10% (12.5p) different system?
Options are:
> Pre-planned reductions
01 October 2013 -10% (11p) > Contingent reductions (based on uptake)
> Reviews
> Quota's (so much allocated per year)
01 April 2014 -10% (10p)
Should a ROI of 4.5% be maintained?
Should the link to RPI be removed?
01 October 2014 -10% (8.9p) Should the 25yr contract be cut to 20yrs?
What happens when we reach 8.9p per kWh?
6. Renewable Heat Premium
Payment
The RHPP is an incentive to encourage the uptake of renewable
technologies for Space & Water Heating
These include Air and Ground Source Heat Pumps, Solar Thermal,
and Biomass Boilers
Phase I of the RHPP ended on 31st March 2012
£4m was left in the pot due to poor uptake
Phase II of the scheme has been announced and you can already
pre-register for a grant if you have a scheme planned
This second phase will run from 1st May 2012 to 31st March 2013
Phase II has a total pot size of £25m of which £7m will be used to
extend Phase I of the scheme with £18 being made available for
Social and Community based schemes
7. Renewable Heat Premium
Payment
The main levels of grant will be as follows:
Solar Thermal Installations £300
Air Source Heat Pumps £850
Biomass Boilers £950
Ground Source Heat Pumps £1250
8. Renewable Heat Incentive
The RHI is the Space and Water Heating equivalent of
the Feed in Tariff
The introduction of RHI for domestic installations has
been delayed until mid 2013 but will be backdated for
installations completed after July 2009
You will receive a payment for each kWh of Hot water
you generate using renewable technologies
The rate is still to be announced but are likely to be
Solar Thermal 8.5p per kWh 18 year contract
GSHP 4.5p per kWh 20 year contract
Small Biomass 7.9p per kWh 20 year contract
10. Referrals

who are looking to reduce fuel costs
Financial Planners who are looking to
recommend investment opportunities to their
clients
Facilities managers who are tasked with
infrastructure development and energy savings
