FAQs
Does it matter where the heat is used?
Yes; to be eligible under the RHI, the heat has to be used in a building.
The draft guidelines by the administrator say:
In order to gain accreditation for an installation, an applicant will have to demonstrate to us that an installation meets the RHI eligibility criteria including that:
- the installation is of an eligible renewable heat technology type and size
- the installation was completed and first commissioned on or after 15 July 2009, and
- that the heat is used for 'eligible purposes‘: heating space, heating water or for carrying out a process where the heat is used in a building.
