As with electrical generation, RHI payments will only be available if the equipment and the installer were MCS approved. In the case of RHI the heat generated is not expected to be metered, but "deemed" by the approved installer. Largeinstallations will not be covered by MCS although they will be eligable for payments if registered with Ofgen.
