FRUSTRATION OVER REFORM DELAY
T
he Heat Pump Association has expressed its disappointment following news that the delay in bringing in the vital Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) reforms will extend beyond the summer. The reforms have suffered a number of delays and setbacks due to procedural formatting issues, the snap general election and changes to Government have altered the delivery timeframe once more. Mike Nankivell, HPA president of
the HPA, comments: “This prolonged process of reform could potentially damage the renewable heat industry, creating uncertainty and confusion over tariffs. Although we are once again left frustrated by the delays, we recognise that when the changes are finally implemented there will likely be a silver lining in the form of significantly improved tariffs. The RHI is an incentivised scheme designed to promote the use of renewable heat and help the UK reduce its carbon emissions.
