DETI - EA of a Northern Ireland Renewable Heat Incentive

Tender description

DETI Economic Appraisal of a Northern Ireland renewable Heat Incentive DETI now wishes to appoint a service provider to undertake an independent economic appraisal of the level of support that could be introduced through a Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) to encourage the roll-out of renewable heat technologies in Northern Ireland and support this 10% target to 2020. The DETI Minister has already indicated that a Northern Ireland RHI will be implemented if it is economically viable. The budget allocation for an RHI in Northern Ireland is £25m from 2011/12 – 2014/15. This funding has been provided by HM Treasury and is only available to Northern Ireland for a RHI. This is to ensure that Northern Ireland is not disadvantaged compared to the rest of the UK. This economic appraisal needs to therefore identify the most cost effective option for implementing the RHI policy. Under no circumstances will late tenders be considered, nor is CPD obliged to accept the lowest or any bid.
