Grants & Incentives available in the UK

The Bioenergy Capital Grants scheme is a UK wide initiative essentially funded by the DTI which promotes the efficient use of Biomass for energy and particular the use of energy crops by stimulating the use of biomass fuelled heat and electricity generation projects. It is aimed at organisations from those involved in large scale electricity generation down to deployment of biomass heating and small scale CHP.

The Community and Household Capital Grants scheme administered by the DTI addresses renewables employed by household or non profit making organisations with strong community interests.

Incentives to buy include the Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) scheme which was updated in March 2001 to include the Energy Technology Products list.

ECA’s can save Corporatation Tax payers £30 for every £100 spent. Anyone paying income or Corporation Tax may claim ECA on eligible equipment which includes Biomass boilers.

DTI Low Carbon buildings programme

The DTI Low Carbon Buildings Programme householder stream has re-launched and provides grants for microgeneration technologies for householders, community organisations, schools, the public sector and businesses..

Phase 1 of the programme is managed by the Energy Saving Trust

Phase 2 of the programme is managed by BRE.

Launched on 1 April 2006, this is a three year programme and replaces DTI's Clear Skies initiative, which has now ceased. The programme covers the whole of mainland UK and its focus is to promote energy efficiency and microgeneration by promoting low carbon buildings, including the use of bioenergy.

Two streams of grants available:

Stream 1 - these grants apply to smaller projects for home owners. See the Low carbon buildings programme website for more information.

Stream 2 - for medium and large scale microgeneration projects, available to the public, non-profit and commercial organisations. See Low carbon buildings programme phase 2 website
