Controversy over renewable heating scheme
The political fallout continues following revelations about a renewable heating scheme which could cost taxpayers £400m over the next 20 years.
List of Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) companies published
The Department for the Economy has published the non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive scheme (RHI) companies list.
This list includes the names of all limited companies and limited liability partnerships that have received support payments under the scheme above a threshold of £5,000, for the period from the opening of the scheme in 2012 to 28 February 2017.
The application of a threshold and the publication of this list is being carried out in line with the judgement issued in the High Court on 1 March 2017.
A statement said work is progressing on a separate list which will contain the names of the individuals who are in receipt of payments of £5,000 or more under the non-domestic scheme.
