<p>The Non-Domestic RHI has provided support for over 20,000 renewable heating installations,
creating green jobs, and helping to develop the GB renewable heating industry.</p><p>
</p><p>The breadth and cost of an extension to the Non-Domestic RHI means that to
provide good value for money for the taxpayer, we are applying a targeted approach
in continuing support for the Non-Domestic low carbon heating industry.</p><p> </p><p>The
Green Gas Support Scheme, due to launch Autumn 2021, is expected to help treble the
level of green gas in the grid by 2030, creating further green jobs, particularly
in rural areas. Sustained support for the industry will be provided through the new
allocation of Tariff Guarantees, incentivising the more cost-effective Non-Domestic
projects.</p><p> </p><p>We have also been keen to avoid potential job losses and damage
to the industry that might result from delays due to Covid-19. Recently announcing
an extension of 6 months for eligible NDRHI projects, that may struggle to meet the
31<sup>st</sup> March 2021 application deadline.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, the soon
to be launched Green Homes Grant Scheme which will fund up to two thirds of the cost
of home improvements for over 600,000 homes, supporting over 80,000 jobs in green
construction.</p><p> </p><p>For more information on these proposals please see the
