Regulation 53 Change in circumstances for shared ground loop systems
Paragraph (2) applies if, following a review under regulation 52 or an investigation under Part 9 in respect of an accredited shared ground loop system, the Authority considers that—
one of the conditions set out in regulation 24(2) applies to a ground source heat pump which forms part of an accredited shared ground loop system and in respect of which the heat generated has not been metered in accordance with regulation 24; or
the property to which the ground source heat pump provides heat was occupied for less than 183 days in any 12 month period ending with the anniversary of the accredited RHI installation’s tariff start date.
Where this paragraph applies the heat generated by the ground source heat pump must be metered in accordance with regulation 24.
No periodic support payment may be made in respect of that ground source heat pump from the date on which the Authority receives the notification under regulation 43, or commences its investigation under Part 9, until the day on which the Authority is provided with evidence that the metering requirements in paragraph (2) have been met.
When payments are resumed in accordance with paragraph (3), such payments must be calculated in accordance with regulation 70(3).
