Why doesn't the UK have combined heat and power generators like Denmark?

I don't see how you'll be able to get any money from the Renewable Heat Initiative. These schemes do not usually work retroactively, so as you've already intstalled a heat pump system, I don't see Ed Davey paying you for a replacement system. http://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cm...incentive.aspx

First para. of your link:

The RHI for householders is aimed at any householder looking to replace their current heating with renewable heating kit or householders who have installed any such technology since 15 July 2009.

Well done!

Are they paying out yet, or haven't they got that far yet?

No, they keep putting the date back. I'm fated to never getting my snout in the green trough!

Watch out that they don't change the eligibility dates and cut you off. I know of one early PV pioneer who was shafted. He got a modest grant to assist with the installation (not covering full costs). He was getting 36p per unit until the then government announced a newer and higher FiT. Early adopters were then put on a tariff of under 10p per unit. He had thought his per unit rate would go down, but not so severely. At that rate he said that he'd never have installed it.
