Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has come across this type of situation.

I have had an inquiry from a client with a converted house which is now 4 flats all have had individual ASHPs installed, but each flat is on a sub-meter from the original MPAN meter.

I understand that the MPAN is recorded on the MCS certificate when an installation has taken place, but can multiple MCS certificates be completed for the same technology on the same MPAN?

The owner of all the flats in looking to claim the RHI, but the current installer says that only one MCS certificate can be completed as there is only one MPAN meter.

Is this correct? Or is there a cost reason for not doing multiple MCS certificates?

I suspect the easiest option may be to have a proper meter installed for each flat.
 
A call to the mcs helpline will soon establish whether x4 ashp can be on the same mpan. I suspect they can. I doubt the mcs registration process checks an mpan has not been used for a particular technology before. Certainly you can have more than one mcs pv system on a single mpan.

The more important criterion in order to claim the domestic rhi will be for each flat to have its own council tax I believe.
 
Hi Matty, see my response over at the Plumbers forum :)
 
Ofgem were very quick to respond.

Thank you for your email.


As long as the heat pumps are installed in 4 different flats with their own EPC’s and Green Deal Advice Reports, the customer would be able to apply for each of them individually. He would need to apply as a landlord for each.

Having one electricity import meter has no bearings on the Domestic RHI scheme.

The heat pumps must however only supply heat to one Domestic dwelling each.

I hope this has helped.

Kind regards,
 
Awesome
