Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs) are supported under both the non-domestic and domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). We have increased the non-domestic tariff for GSHPs to 8.7 pence per kilowatt hour (p/kWh) for tier 1 (i.e. the first 1,314 hours of renewable heat produced per year) and 2.6p/kWh for tier 2 (subsequent heat produced). The level of support for GSHPs under the domestic scheme is 19.1p/kWh.<\/p>
We are aware of the industry\u2019s concerns that the RHI is not supporting as many GSHPs as might be expected; and we are considering what action could be taken. My officials are already discussing this issue with industry, and will continue to do so as options are developed. However, any decisions which involve changes to RHI support will be dependent on the outcome of the Spending Review later this year.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4117", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrea Leadsom"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Northamptonshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Andrea Leadsom"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-07-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/385951/answer/previousversion/10614", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4117", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrea Leadsom"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Northamptonshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Andrea Leadsom"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-07-02T13:56:47.293Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "63"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Energy and Climate Change"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Energy and Climate Change"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-06-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what plans she has to address the effects of the Renewable Heat Incentive on the ground source industry; and what consultation she plans to undertake with that industry on that incentive.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4126", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mary Glindon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North Tyneside"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mary Glindon"} ], "uin" : "4483"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/385819", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Energy and Climate Change"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/385819/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Updated Issues Statement set out the initial views of the CMA on possible adverse effects on competition in the energy markets. The forthcoming publication by the CMA of their Provisional Findings is expected to provide greater clarity relating to competition problems in the energy markets and potential solutions. The Department will assess the impact of those provisional findings once the report is published.<\/p>

The power output of solar panels will vary according to the amount of capacity deployed and the load factor at which these operate. At the end of May 2015, 7.3 GW of solar capacity was installed in the UK. From data on solar panels installed under Feed in Tariffs (covering Great Britain only), the average load factor of solar panels in 2013/14 was 10.4 per cent. Over 2011/12 to 2013/14, the average load factor was 10.2 per cent.<\/p>
