Abstract

These Regulations establish for Northern Ireland a renewable heat incentive scheme 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 Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment.
