- The small biomass tariff will drop by 5% from 1st July, according to the ‘tariff degression’ formula already in place. Commercial boilers under 200 kilowatts will receive 8.4p/kWh in Tier 1 (0.4p less), and 2.2p/kWh in Tier 2 (0.1p less).
- New technology categories were introduced on 28th May – there is support now for air-to-water heat pumps, biomass CHP and deep geothermal
- Increased tariffs also apply from 28th May for ground source heat pumps, solar thermal and large biomass boilers (now 2p/kWh for more than one megawatt)
- support for biogas heat over 200 kilowatts – a key NFU ‘ask’ in previous years
See the official list of key changes and downloadable details on this web page on the DECC site (look under 'Expansions and improvements to the non-domestic RHI').
