What is the Renewable Heat Incentive?

text_seperator

The Renewable Heat Incentive is a UK Government scheme aiming to encourage uptake of renewable heat technologies amongst householders, communities and businesses through financial incentives, and contribute towards the 2020 ambition of 12% of heating coming from renewable sources.

There are two versions of RHI: domestic, and non-domestic. This page provides information on the domestic RHI, but not for details on the non-domestic RHI,[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”services_page_intro about_sub_page”]

Domestic RHI scheme

The domestic RHI launched on 9 April 2014 and provides financial support to the owner of the renewable heating system for seven years. The scheme covers England, Wales and Scotland.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”services_page_intro about_sub_page”]

We have given some information on eligibility criteria here – including additional requirements for biomass systems (below). Further guidance on domestic RHI eligibility criteria can also be found on Ofgem’s site.

To be eligible for RHI payments all renewable technologies must be:

  • Listed as a Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) certified product
  • Issued with a MCS certificate

Technologies included are:

  • Biomass (wood fuelled) boilers*
  • Biomass pellet stoves with integrated boilers providing space heating*
  • Ground to water heat pumps
  • Air to water heat pumps
  • Solar thermal panels (flat plate or evacuated tube only) providing hot water for your home
  • Water source heat pumps can potentially be eligible for the Domestic RHI – they are included in the definition of a ground source heat pump.
  • Certain cooker stoves and high temperature heat pumps may also be eligible
  • The domestic RHI does not support air to air heat pumps, log stoves, pellet stoves without back boilers and hybrid photovoltaic thermal hybrid solar collectors (PVT).
