Abstract

These Regulations, which apply to Great Britain, establish a renewable heat incentive scheme under which owners of biomass plants, heat pumps and solar thermal plants which generate heat for domestic properties may receive payments at prescribed rates when the plant generates heat for that property. They set out the criteria which must be met before a plant is eligible to participate in the scheme and criteria for each type of plant. They also set out the procedure for applying for accreditation for a plant, the powers of the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority.
