The Renewable Heat Incentive is a UK Government scheme aiming to encourage uptake of renewable heat technologies amongst householders through financial incentives, and contribute towards the 2020 ambition of 12% of heating coming from renewable sources.
The UK Government’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) makes key policy decisions and energy regulator Ofgem E-Serve administers the scheme.

Under the Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme, you could receive quarterly cash payments over seven years if you install or have already installed an eligible renewable heating technology. The incentive hopes to encourage more homeowners to embrace green technology. The scheme is open to anyone who can meet the joining requirements. It’s for households both off and on the gas grid. The payment amount is dependent on which green technologies you install and the latest tariffs.
Full details of the scheme can be found on the Ofgem pages.
