Budget 2001

The first Energy Technology List was published on 26 March 2001, and gained statutory effect on 16 July the same year. So the first claims for 100% first year capital allowances could be made from that date.

The technologies on the initial list were:

Boiler equipment

Automatic total dissolved solids control
Biomass boilers <300kW
Burners with controls
Condensate recovery and return systems
Condensing economisers
Combustion trim controls
Flue gas economisers
Heat recovery from boiler blowdown
Hot water boilers over 400kW
Localised rapid steam generators
Retrofit burner control system
Optimising controllers for wet heating systems
Sequence controls
Steam boiler
