FAQs
How are RHI installations treated by the Sustainable Business and Resource efficiency Scheme?
They are treated exactly the same as equivalent renewable installations without the benefit of the Incentive
Chapter 6 of the government’s RHI announcement says
Sustainable Business and Resource efficiency – a voluntary scheme for businesses to report their greenhouse gas emissions
It provides a benchmark of a business’s own resource efficiency which can enhance its reputation and brand value, and for companies falling under the Companies Act 2006, such environmental reporting is a requirement. Companies replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy such as that produced under the RHI will have lower GHG emissions.
