NFU Energy has been providing expert advice on all aspects of the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) since the scheme was launched in 2011. Throughout this time, we have liaised with Ofgem on legislation, accreditation and sustainability, and dealt with over 700 RHI applications for technologies ranging from biomass to biogas and heat pumps.

For many, burning recycled waste wood is a great choice, as it is a low cost and readily available biomass fuel. However, it’s important to make sure you’re properly permitted before you even take delivery.

Now that your renewable heat installation has qualified for payments under the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme, there are several ongoing obligations with which you need to comply. These obligations are laid out by Ofgem, which administers the RHI scheme on behalf of the government.
