Phase 2 is now closed to all new applications:

Applicants need to be aware that they will have to claim their grant by the end of February 2011 or on/before the date stated on the Grant Offer Letter and this date cannot be extended.

This scheme ends on 1st April 2011 when the Renewable Heat Incentive will be introduced. Any grant claims will therefore have to be received by the end of February 2011, even if a grant offer letter was issued after February 2010.

Since 1st July 2009

  • The extended programme has continued to provide grant funding to charitable organisations, community groups and the public sector.
  • The upper limit for heat technologies was 300kW.
  • Organisations were able to apply for up to 50% of the cost of installing approved technologies up to a maximum of £200,000 (though maximum grant levels may depend on the nature of the organisation).
  • There was a £13 million pot for solar PV.
  • All other technologies benefitted from the remaining £21 million.

The programme was open to all products and installer companies registered on the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS). In terms of the additional products this also includes Solar Keymark for solar thermal collectors, and the Environmental Technology List (ETA part of the Enhanced Capital Allowance Scheme) for biomass boilers and heat pumps rated above 45kW and up to 300kW thermal.
