Metering requirements

14.—(1) The requirements referred to in regulation 3(d) are that, in relation to all eligible meters used in relation to the plant—

(a) the requirements set out in paragraph (2) are met (“the metering requirements”); or

(b) the metering requirements in paragraph (2)(a) are met and the Authority is satisfied that, were the plant given accreditation, no participant would, as a consequence of the failure to meet the other metering requirements, be entitled to receive RHI payments which are materially greater than would be the case were all the metering requirements met.

(2) The requirements referred to in paragraph (1)(a) are that—

(a) a certified installer was responsible—

(i) for the installation of any eligible meter installed before, on or after the relevant date; or

(ii) in the case of any eligible meter installed before the relevant date, for checking that it was properly installed;

(b) each eligible meter—

(i) is positioned in accordance with the requirements specified in regulation 15 if the plant is a biomass plant or regulation 16 if the plant is a heat pump;

(ii) is properly calibrated;

(iii) is properly installed and in good working order; and

(iv) bears a label which identifies the meter using a unique reference number which enables the meter to be consistently identified when the information recorded by the meter is submitted to the Authority.
