Hello

[SimonG]

Not a straight forward exercise given that i have very little detail but here are some figures based on assumptions;

At 3,500 hours a 14kw boiler is going to produce 49,000kWh running at full
power

This equates to £2170 in RHI. This is because most of the payment is in the
tier 2 tariff of 2.1p

I would never suggest to run a smaller domestic boiler for this amount of
hours in a year. They are much more delicate than the larger systems.

If the requirement is 49,000 kWh then I would suggest a boiler of 30kW
output. Approx 1633 hours of use. This would generate £3473 in RHI
payments. This is because much more of the operation hours is in the Tier 1
payment of 8.3p.

Hope that helps.

All interesting info. Whats the cost of the 30kw set up? Thanks.

It depends on where the boiler will be installed as that will add to the overall figure.If you have any further information then I will be able to give you more definitive costings.

Really? I'm pretty sure it was put back to 2013 (summer I think) but happy to be proven wrong!

Just a confirmation of the tariff would be a god send, quite hard selling a product without any solid information, payback period etc.

I think all of DECC's concentration is on the green deal at the moment hence RHI being on the back burner.

As with any Gov incentive there will always be uncertainty.
I agree though that more clarity is needed and soon.

I have a village hall that I look after the oil boiler, big floor mounted cast iron beast. Did some work a couple of years to zone various sections off to save money. They have a couple of conference rooms they let out.

They've been in touch recently about getting rid of the oil and moving to gas (mains), it runs in the road outside. I was just wondering if Biomass may be an alternative?

Biomass would certainly be an alternative and it could be housed in a container, classed as a temporary structure, so probably no planning permission needed, but they should check this point. The containerised option would house the boiler and the fuel store and they can be poweder coated in any colour or be surrounded by a fence to blend in with the surrounding environment. The plus points are that the RHi will give an ROI where a gas boiler wouldn't, a reduction in ongoing fuel costs, generation of carbon credits and a vast improvement on the village halls green credentials. I will get you costings.
