Government will be consulting shortly on reforms to the Energy Company Obligation which will run from October 2018 to March 2022. The consultation will include proposals for supporting rural properties and the types of measures eligible. The Renewable Heat Incentive is targeted at off grid buildings using high carbon fuels, with a £4.5bn budget between 2016 and 2021.
