Northern Ireland Renewable Heat Premium Payment Scheme

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is it all about?

The NI Renewable Heat Premium Payment scheme is designed to help domestic householders afford alternative renewable technologies that can heat their home.  If you have read about the Northern Ireland Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) you will already be aware that the Renewable Heat Premium Payment is the forerunner of the RHI but is specifically for domestic customers.

Who can apply?

The Renewable Heat Premium Payment scheme is for all householders in Northern Ireland.  The scheme is also open to private and social landlords.

What are the conditions?

Technologies must be installed in primary places of residence, not second homes or holiday homes, and must have basic energy efficiency measures in place.  This means you must confirm you have loft insulation to 250mm and cavity wall insulation, where these measures are practical.
The renewable heat product you are installing must be listed under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) or Solar Keymark and be installed by someone registered under the MCS scheme.  Please visit the MCS website Microgenerationcertification or Solar Keymark website Solarkeymark for more details.
If you have installed an eligible technology from 24 May 2012, without any other financial grant or support, you are also eligible to apply for a premium payment.
