Renewable Heat Incentive

The Renewable Heat Incentive is a government backed scheme administered by Ofgem. More information regarding this can be found through Ofgem’s website.

The RHI was introduced by the Government to encourage homeowners, self-builders and property renovators to install renewable heating systems, helping to reduce the UK’s carbon emissions.

The Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) provides guaranteed payments for a set number of years to compensate for the greater upfront costs involved with installing ground source heat pumps 

The government announced that the scheme will soon be closing and therefore any new installations will need to ensure they are installed and commissioned as soon as possible in order to be eligible. They announced on 11 March 2020 that they will consult on introducing a new Clean Heat Grant scheme from April 2022.
