<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>
