No, not at present.

Chapter 6 of the government’s RHI announcement says

Interaction with the Renewables Obligation and Feed-In Tariffs

At the start of the RHI, installations will also not be able to switch from the RO uplift to the RHI, i.e. if installations are receiving or at any point have been receiving the RO uplift for heat from good quality CHP, they will not be eligible for RHI support.

We will, however, consider whether at a later stage we will allow CHP installations completed after 15th July 2009 which are or have been claiming the RO uplift to switch from the RO to the RHI. We intend to consider this issue on the same timescale as outlined above for the RO Banding Review and the analysis on possible RHI tariffs specifically for CHP heat. Heat from CHP installations that are not and have not been receiving the RO uplift will be eligible for RHI (subject to other eligibility criteria).
