Can Ofgem exclude participants from the scheme?
Yes in certain cases.
Chapter 8 of the government's RHI announcement says
Power to exclude participants
There will also be the power to exclude a participant from the scheme. Where non-compliance has been serious or repeated, Ofgem may take the decision that the participant should no longer receive payments. Once excluded, the person will not be eligible for any further RHI payments in respect to the installation in question.
Ofgem will also have the power to exclude any other installations owned by the participant, which are also receiving support under the RHI and prohibit them from re-joining the scheme. This will be a discretionary power, which Ofgem would only use in the most serious cases.
