  • financial analysis on the proposed Renewable Heat Incentive for residential houses in the united kingdom a case study on the solar thermal system
    Energy Policy, 2014
    Co-Authors: Siti Hawa Abubakar, Firdaus Muhammadsukki, Roberto Ramireziniguez, Tapas K Mallick, Campbell Mclennan, Abu Bakar Munir, Siti Hajar Mohd Yasin, Ruzairi Abdul Rahim
    Abstract:

    This short communication paper focuses on the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme in the United Kingdom (UK); and in particular, on its implication on domestic installations of solar thermal systems (STSs). First, a short review on the STS in the UK is provided. Then, a detailed description of the RHI is discussed. A financial analysis is presented afterwards, analysing the impact of the RHI scheme on the applicants, in terms of the net present value and the internal rate of return. From the financial analysis it has been found that the RHI scheme for domestic installations is only attractive if a longer period of RHI payment, i.e. 17 years, or a higher RHI rate i.e. £0.32 per kWh is implemented. The current proposal from the UK government is not financially viable, and as a result, it may hinder the penetration of domestic solar thermal systems in the residential sector in the UK.

    Abstract:

    This paper focuses on the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme in the United Kingdom (UK); and in particular, on its implications in relation to solar thermal systems (STSs). First, a short review on the UK's energy demand is provided. Then, an overview of the past and present activities related to STS installations is discussed, covering regulation, policies and programmes, research and development expenditures and implementations. A financial analysis is presented afterwards, analysing the RHI scheme, in terms of total profit, payback period and average annual return on investment. This is based on installations of different sizes and at various levels of solar insolation. The analysis also presents the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions that could be achieved by installing an STS. From the financial analysis it is found that the RHI scheme could generate a good total profit, a high average annual return on the investment and an ‘acceptable’ payback period, depending on locations. As a result, it could increase the penetration of solar thermal systems in the UK. Significant reductions of carbon dioxide emission can also be achieved by installing an STS on a building.

    Abstract:

    This paper focuses on the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme in the United Kingdom (UK); and in particular, on its implications in relation to solar thermal systems. First, a short review on the UK's energy demand is provided. Then, a brief explanation of solar thermal systems is presented, followed by a detailed description of the Renewable Heat Incentives. A financial analysis is presented afterwards, analysing the impact of the RHI scheme to the applicants, in terms of payback period and average annual return on investment. This is based on installations of different sizes and at various levels of solar insolation. The analysis also presents the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions that could be achieved by installing a solar thermal system. From the financial analysis it has been found that the RHI scheme could generate moderate average annual returns on investment and `acceptable' payback periods. As a result, it could increase the penetration of solar thermal systems in the UK. Significant reductions of carbon dioxide emission can also be achieved by installing a solar thermal system on a building.
