2. Renewable Heat Incentive - changes
 Degression announcement 1st December, applies 1st January:
5%... maybe 10%
 Metering simplification
 For “standard” metering you only need to
meter the eligible heat generated OR
the eligible heat use
 “Multiple” metering is only when there is
ineligible heat generation AND
ineligible heat use
 External pipework is ineligible heat use if
 it is buried or not properly insulated, OR
 any run is more than 10m and the total loss is more than 3% of heat output
 Only need an independent metering report (IRMA) for “multiple” metering – but
the application process requires much of the same information

3. Feed in Tariffs – unclaimed subsidy
 FIT subsidies unclaimed or underclaimed:
 Renewable system disabled or never
commissioned
 No FIT subsidy claimed despite
approved system
 Expected performance not achieved
or maintained
 For maximum subsidy tariff – the tariff
band is related to the building’s
Energy Performance Certification
grade

4. GHG reporting – Companies Act 2013
 A legal requirement for
listed companies’ annual
accounts after September
30th this year
 Local Authorities are encouraged by the Minister to
provide a compliant GHG report and are pulled in via
the “single list”
 Allows use of emissions reporting from CRC or other
schemes
 Extensive scope and international dimension

5. Mandatory energy audits/upgrades
 The EU Energy Efficiency Directive 2012 to be
implemented by 2014 but details not yet finalised
 For the UK the “Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme” (ESOS) will require
mandatory energy audits – possibly by compliance with the international
energy management standard ISO 50,001
 Upgrade of public sector property to Building Regulations

7. Finance and Guaranteed savings –
Energy Performance Contracts
 Source of funding and project
management
 Measurement and Verification
(M&V) provided
 UK Government and EU backing
 Frameworks provide contracts and

10. Opportunities and obligations
 Subsidies: big opportunities but time is
running out
 GHG reporting: mandatory for listed
companies and big pressure for local
authorities
 Letting of property: Grade E or better
EPC by 2018
 Energy “audits”: completed by December
2015 for all companies other than SMEs
 Energy Performance Contract: funding
routes and guaranteed savings
