<p>The Pump It Up campaign recommends that Government commits to a re-think of the
future support it makes available to large-scale heat pump projects.</p><p>A new allocation
of Tarriff Guarantees has recently opened on the Non-Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive
(RHI), supporting larger projects, including large scale ground source heat pumps>100kWth.
The Non-Domestic RHI will close to new applicants on the 31st of March 2021 and we
have consulted on a new scheme, the Clean Heat Grant, which with a proposed cap on
the capacity of eligible appliances at 45kW will provide targeted support to consumers
and small businesses for heat pumps and some limited biomass from April 2022. This
is backed by £100 million of Exchequer funding as announced in the 2020 Budget, and
will be open for two years.</p><p>The Government expects several large-scale heat
pump projects to receive financial support through its other schemes, including the
Green Heat Network Scheme, which BEIS will consult on later in the year, and our Industrial
Energy Transformation Fund, which is open to large heat pumps providing process heat.
Additionally, in the Summer Economic Update, we announced £1 billion funding over
the next year to help public sector buildings through the installation of energy efficiency
and low carbon heat measures, which will also support the deployment of large scale
heat pumps.</p>
