RHI SCHEME: You can get help meeting the cost of installing renewable heat technologies.
The types if heating technologies and systems you can claim for include:
- Bio methane and biogas
- Biomass
- Combined heat and power (CHP) systems
- Deep geothermal
- Heat pumps (ground source, water source, and air source)
- Solar thermal collectors
The payments come from the Non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme. They get paid over a period of 20 years and based on the heat output of your system.
Non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive Eligibility
You may qualify if your equipment got installed on or after the 15th of July 2009 in England, Scotland, or Wales. But, all the heating systems must meet certain requirements.
How to Apply for Non-domestic RHI
- Check to see if you meet the non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive eligibility criteria.
- Create an online account on the Ofgem website to give information about the installation.
- Send the documentation required to support your application to Ofgem.
- Wait for a reply from Ofgem. They will either accredit your installation or reject the application (informing you why it got rejected).
