What is Renewable Heat Incentive?

The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) was the UK government subsidy paying owners of eligible renewable-heat installations (heat pumps, biomass, solar thermal) over seven years. The Domestic RHI closed to new applications in March 2022 and was replaced by the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. The Non-Domestic RHI closed earlier in 2021. Existing accredited participants continue to receive payments until their seven-year term ends.
