Energy - Northern Ireland
Enters into force - 7 October 2016
The Domestic Energy Efficiency Grants (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016 amend the Domestic Energy Efficiency Grants Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 to make changes to two schemes. Eligibility criteria for the Affordable Warmth Scheme have been increased so households with an annual income of less than £20,000 may now be eligible. Amendments made by the 2016 regulations aim to clarify eligibility for boiler replacement grants and permit households to fund the cost of boiler replacements beyond the grant limit.
