To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to the news release Wood Pellet Shortages, published by UK Pellet Council on 18 January 2018, whether his Department plans to adjust the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) tariff for biomass boilers installed under the RHI scheme.

We do not currently plan to review biomass tariffs on the Renewable Heat Incentive. Compensation for running cost differences is a part of RHI tariffs when compared with the compensation for high up-front costs of renewable systems.
