	uin	198781
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2014 answer text <p>DECC has introduced the domestic renewable heat incentive (RHI) scheme to support renewable heating systems. The RHI aims to compensate householders for the additional costs they face when installing a renewable heating system compared to an oil heating system. The domestic RHI is targeted at, but not limited to, homes off the gas grid. Incentivising oil and LPG boilers in this context would undermine the design of the RHI, and potentially cause confusion for consumers. For more vulnerable customers, support is available through the Energy Company Obligation, with proposals to strengthen this support for off-grid properties. For these reasons, DECC considers it appropriate to exclude these heating measures from the Green Deal Home Improvement Fund (GDHIF) scheme.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Gregory Barker question first answered 09/06/2014 15:45:33 answering member 1389 label Biography information for Lord Barker of Battle
