4 January 2017

The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) in Great Britain is administered by Ofgem. They are responsible for the day-to-day running of the scheme.

On the 14th December we published the government response and accompanying impact assessment to the consultation on reforming the RHI. The reforms will ensure that the scheme is affordable and incorporates robust scheme design. The changes will focus on long-term decarbonisation, offering better value for money to the tax payer and protecting consumers.
