Invitation and Registration to the launch of the Renewable Heat Premium Payment (RHPP) Phase 2 Communities Scheme
On Tuesday 24 July the Minister of State forClimate Change, Gregory Barker will announce the launch of the Renewable Heat Premium Payment (RHPP) Phase 2 Communities Scheme (subject to Ministerial business). This is a new and innovative funding mechanism to assist communities in England, Wales and Scotland to support domestic renewable heat installations in privately owned homes, in particular focusing on off gas communities.
This launch event will set in motion the process for community groups to register their interest with Energy Saving Trust by the beginning of September. Registered projects that pass the stage one application will progress to the development phase, where communities will be supported throughout the autumn to develop their ideas into project proposal bids. These project bids will be independently assessed and winners announced later in the year.
Location: The event will be held in St. Martin’s Hall at: St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Trafalgar Square, London WC2N 4JJ
This event will be an excellent opportunity for you to gain more information about how you can get involved, the application process and to ask questions about the new scheme. The agenda for the day can be foundhere. There are a limited number of places available and these will be allocated on a first come first served - so be sure to apply early to avoid disappointment.
