RHI compliant Heat Meters

There are three steps to the RHI

1. You install in your property renewable heat systems such as solar thermal panels, heat pumps or a biomass boiler
2. You measure how much heat your renewable energy systems produce
3. You get paid a fixed amount based on that output, the type of technology and the size of the system

Who is it for?
Broadly speaking, the Renewable Heat Incentive is for everyone, including households, landlords, businesses, farmers, schools, hospitals, care homes and more. The RHI can even be used by entire communities, coming together to invest in a renewable scheme from which they will all use the heat and share the income.

However residential systems are not eligible for support until Phase 2

What energy systems are eligible?
Most forms of renewable heat generation in all sizes. Read more in our section about Eligibility.

Do they cover electricity?
No; that is being covered by the Feed-In Tariffs – the Renewable Heat Incentive’s older brother.

We used the word ‘older’ because unlike the Renewable Heat Incentive, the Feed-In Tariffs are in place in roughly 40 other countries…whereas the Renewable Heat Incentive is a World First!
