Some categories also include activity not relating to renewable heat. Jobs, turnover and GVA include supply chain activity.<\/em><\/p>Source: BIS (March 2015) \u201cThe Size and Performance of the UK Low Carbon Economy <\/em><\/p>
Future growth in these sectors will depend upon a number of factors, such as technological development and cost reduction.<\/p>
The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) budget to cover both domestic and non-domestic schemes has been confirmed to March 2021, with funding rising each year to £1.15bn in 2020/21. We believe that this is sufficient to heat the equivalent of 500,000 homes. We are planning to reform the RHI with a particular view to improve value for money, reduce cost and improve cost control.<\/p>"}
