In July I wrote to the UK energy minister, Charles Hendry, to stress the need for a renewable heat incentive to support the development of the sector and to help achieve our renewable heat and wider climate change targets.

In addition, officials continue to liaise with the Department of Energy and Climate Change to ensure that Scottish interests are fully represented in the design of the renewable heat incentive, given that we have worked so hard with DECC and others to prepare the ground for it in Scotland.
