answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2015 answer text <p>Non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) installations are paid quarterly. Payments are based upon heat meter readings submitted by applicants every 3 months from the date when the (accredited) application was submitted. These readings, in conjunction with the tariff level at which an installation was accredited, determine the level of payments.</p><p>Using the quarterly data collected, we have assessed the seasonality of renewable heat generated under the scheme, using natural gas demand as a comparator – see attached. The attached chart shows this seasonality is as expected, with scheme generation correlating with the seasonal variation in gas demand, including the lower demand in the summer months.</p> answering member constituency Hastings and Rye answering member printed Amber Rudd question first answered 02/02/2015 17:32:41 answering member 3983 label Biography information for Amber Rudd attachment 1 file name Charts for WPQ 222390.pdf title Charts for WPQ 222390 on RHI

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2015 answer text <p>Ofgem have a comprehensive audit strategy in place to ensure accredited installations remain compliant with the rules of the Non Domestic RHI. As part of this audit strategy, Ofgem have contracted with an external audit company to conduct a programme of site visits throughout the year, and therefore does not directly employ any inspectors. Ofgem takes the necessary compliance action on the basis of the audit reports received. Ofgem does not disclose details which could compromise the detection or deterrent effects of its audit programme, but the volume of audits is based on expert advice to deliver value for money while protecting the public purse.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 02/02/2015 17:19:24 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
