FAQs
Are the published tariffs those that will apply in the first year of the scheme?
No - the published tariffs are those that would have applied in 2010-11. The first year's tariffs will be higher because they will be adjusted by the annual inflation factor
Chapter 6 of the government's RHI announcement says
Inflation
The tariff levels set out are based on 2010 prices, and will be updated to reflect 2011 prices before the start of the RHI. After the start of the scheme, tariff levels will be adjusted automatically each year in line with the Retail Price Index (RPI). This adjustment will be applied both for new and existing projects.
