Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many businesses have had boilers installed under the non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive scheme; and how many of those boilers will be inspected as part of the National Audit Office's study into that scheme.

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether any installations made under the non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive scheme have been found to have been used for over 12 hours a day, seven days a week.
Answered by Claire Perry
Of the 16,496 installations (excluding biomethane) that have received a payment up to the end of July 2017, 342 installations have been used for more than 12 hours a day. This is on average over each plants lifetime on the Non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). This has been assessed by looking at generation as a proportion of maximum capacity.
This analysis only covers installations that have submitted meter readings to Ofgem and we do not have the data to assess this for a given day. Biomethane is excluded from this analysis as it does not have a capacity from which operating hours could be assessed.
Asked by: Graham Stringer (Labour - Blackley and Broughton)
Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many single applicants received subsidies for multiple installations under the non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive scheme since its inception.
Answered by Claire Perry
This cannot be directly determined from the application data because we do not require applicants to indicate if they own another RHI installation.
