Community low carbon heating scheme announced

The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has launched a new low carbon heating scheme designed to allow community based organisations to embrace renewable heat measures by bidding for a share of £8 million under the Renewable Heat Premium Payment (RHPP).

The scheme will support all low carbon heating, such as solar thermal, biomass boilers and heat pumps. Interested parties must submit a first stage application to the Energy Savings Trust by September 7th, 2012.
