Umbrella supplier Booth Brothers, with offices in a former corn mill in Penistone, will be kept warm through an underfloor heating system powered by a heat pump. The second installation to be accredited is at Broadgate Farm Cottages in East Yorkshire, which will have heat and hot water from a ground source heat pump for its to five holiday lets in Beverley. Both installations will benefit from the 'small commercial heat pumps' tariff, which is 4.5p/kWh.
Greg Barker, climate change minister, said: “It’s fantastic news that the Renewable Heat Incentive has received its first two successful applicants, and this is just the start. Renewable heat is a largely untapped resource and an important new green industry of the future. It’ll help the UK shift away from fossil fuel, reducing carbon emissions and encouraging innovation, jobs and growth in new advanced technologies.”
Elaine Robinson is the owner of Broadgate Farm Cottages. She commented: “We don’t have mains gas and the price of oil and LPG is very expensive so when we decided to develop the holiday cottages, a ground source heat pump was the most economically attractive in the long term, especially with the Renewable Heat Incentive. This is the first of our applications to be approved.”
The launch of the £860m Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) for non-domestic installations was delayed last year and has been accepting applicants since November. It is the first scheme of its kind in the world.
