On Wednesday 18 August, BEIS published its Evaluation of the Reformed RHI. The report indicates that reform proposals and delays for non-domestic and domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) schemes influenced a minority of applicants. The report suggests that applicants who would lose out from the reforms responded by applying or installing earlier than they otherwise would have or changed plans about the size of their installations. In addition, the reform proposals and delays had the added effect of delaying or slowing down applications for large scale non-domestic technologies that would otherwise benefit from the reforms, particularly for biogas and biomethane.
