Arlene Foster said: “The extension of the RHI to domestic properties is good news for householders and the environment. “The RHI scheme helps applicants to take advantage of renewable heating solutions such as biomass; heat pumps and solar thermal. It reduces dependencies on oil and other fossil fuels and contributes to the Executive’s target of having 10% of our heat from renewable sources by 2020.”

The Minister continued: “I am committed to making sustainable technologies more affordable. The RHI helps to bridge the gap in costs that currently exist between renewables and fossil fuels and therefore gives householders more choice.

“I hope to take legislation for the scheme through the Assembly in the coming weeks. It has already been endorsed by the ETI Committee.”
