FAQs
Will the administrator visit the site?
They might.
Chapter 8 of the government's RHI announcement says
Inspections
Ofgem or agents authorised on its behalf, will also carry out on-site inspections of installations, where it is concerned that one or more of the eligibility criteria are not being met and to ensure compliance generally with the RHI scheme. Inspection is a key means of both identifying non-compliance and preventing it. Knowing that a site could be inspected at any time will help deter participants from breaking the rules, where they might otherwise have been tempted to.
Where a participant unreasonably refuses Ofgem access to the installation or is uncooperative or obstructive during an inspection, they could be deemed to be failing to meet the terms and conditions of the scheme. This could result in the participant being subjected to one of the various sanctions within the RHI scheme, including exclusion.
