Example 2: Finance used to smooth cash flow for
a Biomass Boiler installation.
In this case, the installed 29kW oil boiler
is replaced with an 85kW Biomass Boiler
that serves the existing building and a
new building built adjacent to it.
The new biomass boiler costs £22,590.
Other installation costs such as fuel
store construction, boiler assembly and
commissioning are excluded. Over a 7 year
period, finance costs amount to £8,613.
Repayments are: for year 1 £4,539
and for years 2 to 7 £4,444.
When considering fuel savings and RHI income,
less the equipment finance payments, this
scheme has an annual surplus of £298 in year
1, rising to £393 per year for years 2 to 7 and
then £4,837 per year for the rest of the life of the
equipment. See chart opposite…
Example 2: Chart Opposite
The new installation reduces the total fossil fuel based
carbon released into the atmosphere by a total of 9.03
Tonnes per annum, which equates to an 89% reduction.
The calculations are based on an existing oil
consumption of 3,900 litres per annum at 58p/kWh.
The installation qualifies for RHI (Renewable
Heat Incentive) payments at Tier 1 of 7.9p / kW.
The estimated heat use of the new system is
58,500k/Whs. Calculations are based on wood
chips supplied at a cost of 3.5p/kWh (in the actual
installation, cheaper, waste wood chips are available).
Actual use of equipment will be a factor in the actual
savings made. Rate of interest in this example, for this
size loan, is 9% IRR. Rate of interest and prices quoted
are correct at time of printing, but may subsequently
vary. Remeha Commercial would be pleased to advise
current loan rates of interest and offer full quotations
