Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is a government financial incentive to promote the use of
renewable energy. Switching your home or business to heating systems that use eligible energy
sources can help the UK reduce its carbon emissions and meet its renewable energy targets.
The Renewable Heat Incentive is the world’s first long time financial support for the generation
of renewable energy. It was introduced by the UK Government to encourage the uptake of
renewable technologies, such as heat pumps, whilst lowering the UK’s carbon emissions. People
who join the scheme and stick to its rules receive quarterly payments for seven years for the
amount of clean, green renewable heat it’s estimated their system produces.
Since opening in April 2014, the scheme has already seen thousands of people successfully join
and receive payments.
Since there is a finite pot of money available for the RHI payments, it is likely the current tariffs
will get smaller over time (much like the solar Feed-in Tariff). Therefore, if you are considering
installing renewable heating technology, it is worth moving quickly to ensure you get the highest
You can claim for:
• Air Source Heat Pumps.
• Ground Source Heat Pumps.
• Solar Thermal Collectors.
• Solar Photovoltaic (Solar PV)
The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) could be reduced at any time, act now and don’t miss out.
