On April 9 the Government announced the full details of who will be eligible for support under the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive. Owner occupiers as well as second homes, private landlords and legacy applications are eligible for the domestic RHI, where renewable heating technologies have been installed since July 15, 2009.
