RHPP Scheme Re-opened

Social Landlords can now apply to bid for a grant to support the installation of renewable heating systems under the second phase of the Renewable Heat Premium Payment (RHPP). The RHPP is a short-term government scheme, managed by the Energy Saving Trust (EST) and available for householders and social housing. This scheme is designed to help buy renewable heating technologies, such as air to water heat pumps or solar thermal hot water. Social housing providers have the chance to bid for money - up to around £175,000 - to support the installation of renewable heating systems. All applications need to be submitted before the 4th July 2012 and all projects need to be completed before the 31st March 2013. Read more on the EST website.
