Social landlords are declining to take up the Renewable
Heat Incentive (RHI) due to upfront costs and a suspicion that the government
will ‘shift the goalposts’. Department
for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) data shows only 510 measures have been
installed by social landlords since the scheme launched in April, compared with
9,287 by owner-occupiers. Leading
figures in the sector said that to improve take-up of the scheme the government
must offer more financial incentives and promise to maintain the terms and
conditions of RHI, as opposed to changing them as it has with other
sustainability schemes. Read more on Inside Housing.
