FAQs
Can payments be adjusted retrospectively?
In some cases, yes.
Chapter 8 of the government's RHI announcement says
Recouping and adjusting payments
Where a participant has been overpaid, either as a result of non-compliance (e.g. incorrect meter reading), or due to a mistake, Ofgem will have the option of either asking the participant to repay the money through a repayment notice or allow for the over-payment by adjusting the future payment accordingly, or a combination of both.
Where a participant fails to repay an over-payment, Ofgem can look to recover it through the civil courts.
