Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme Regulations 2018 (S.I. No. 611 of 2018).

These Regulations make provision for the continuation in Great Britain of the Renewable Heat Incentive ("RHI") incentive scheme to facilitate and encourage the renewable generation of heat, under which owners of plants which generate heat from specified renewable sources and meet specified criteria may receive payments at prescribed tariffs for the heat used for eligible purposes. Payments may also be made to biomethane producers who produce biomethane for injection. The Regulations also provide for the procedures for accreditation, registration, change of ownership and preliminary accreditation with the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority. The Authority shall make periodic payments as specified to participants in the Scheme who are owners of accredited RHI installations, or participants who are producers of biomethane for injection, or for the generation of heat by an accredited RHI installation.
