Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what estimate he has made of the number of Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive applications that have been received from (a) England, (b) Wales, (c) Scotland and (d) Northern Ireland since April 2014.
Since the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) launched on 9 April this year, up until the end of May Ofgem had received 2,296 applications in total from applicants in England, Wales and Scotland.
Due to the infancy of the scheme, analysis is not currently provided at country level, however this breakdown will be presented in our next monthly Renewable Heat Incentive and Renewable Heat Premium Payment statistics to be published on 24 July. These data will be available at:
The Domestic RHI scheme is open only to those living in England, Scotland or Wales. Northern Ireland is planning to introduce its own equivalent scheme to support domestic renewable heat generation shortly.
