RHI Tariffs set the rate for your Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) payments. People who join the scheme receive quarterly payments over seven years. The rates are set by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), formerly known as the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC)
Payments are index-linked, tax-free and guaranteed for 7 years.
The level of payments you can receive will depend on the amount of heat deemed to be required for your property and which is generated by your heat pump.
