Changes to domestic RHI eligibility

On 5 February 2015 the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) announced their intention to make a number of small changes to the domestic RHI. 

These included:

• Removing the requirement for a Green Deal Assessment for social landlords
• Making cooker stoves eligible
• Making high temperature heat pumps eligible
• Reflecting updated MCS Standards in the scheme
• Clarifying the scheme rules around properties made up of more than one building
• Other small clarifications to ensure the original policy intent is being delivered.

Full details of the changes can be found on DECC’s website here.
