MCS certified products and the Renewable Heat Incentive RHI
The Government introduced new regulations on 20 September 2017. For information on what the Government changes mean for you, please see our changes to the scheme webpage.
Tariffs set the rate for your Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) payments. People who join the scheme and stick to its rules receive quarterly payments over seven years. The rates are set by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), formerly known as the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). You can view BEIS' budget announcements on their website.

3rd March 2016 Changes to the Renewable Heat Incentive
DECC have today annouced 6 changes to the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme eligibility. There are no change to installations that are already receiving the RHI, and most of the changes will have little effect on the majority of installations.
However one amendment (that will take place on the 24th March 2016) is to do with the Green Deal Assessments. To the relief of many, DECC have considered this an 'unnecessary burden to scheme participants', and therefore DECC have announced that this element will be dropped.
Insulation requirements must still be met, and these will be shown in the home EPC. The EPC must be valid, and no more than 24 months old.
The Renewable Heat Incentive launched 9th April 2014
The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is a grant scheme targeted at renewable heating systems, essentially to make your home greener and environmentally friendly and stop using fossil fuels. Biomass boilers, solar thermal, ground and water-source heat pumps are covered but not air source heat pumps.The RHI is centrally funded and payments are made by OFGEM on a quarterly basis.
Unlike the Non-domestic RHI the customer applies for the payments and therefore it is important to be clear of all the facts.
