Abstract

Consultation on the proposed financial support scheme
AECB response: background and evidence

In this widely-reported consultation response, AECB warned that DECC's proposed  Renewable Heat Incentive  is so badly designed that in some circumstances it pays people to install systems that emit more CO2.

As well as questioning the kinds of heat defined as renewable  and the assumption that this might equate to  low carbon , AECB also took fundamental issue with the principle of rewarding energy consumption: the 'earn as you burn' basis for DECC's proposals.
