The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is a government supported financial scheme for renewable heating. It supports air source heat pumps (ASHP), biomass systems, ground source heat pumps (GSHP) and solar thermal technologies with tariffs varying depending on the technology. The scheme was launched in April 2014 by the Energy Minister, Greg Barker. The RHI is now open to applications and will be administered by Ofgem with the purpose of supporting households who install renewable forms of heating in their homes. Owners of renewable heating systems will receive payments based on each kilowatt hour (kWh) of renewable heat that their installation generates. This payment is tax free and is made over a period of 7 years.
The domestic RHI will give financial support for an eligible renewable heating installation that has been installed in accordance with the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) guidelines. The renewable heating system and also the installer must be MCS registered to meet the RHI Schemes criteria. The domestic RHI will only be available to single domestic dwellings. These dwellings can be either on or off the gas grid.
The following groups will be eligible for the RHI payments:-
