AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This law gives Northern Ireland’s Department for the Economy power to close the Non-Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive scheme, either in stages or completely. It allows the department to set the closure process, manage funding and administration, and work with other people or bodies to carry out the closure. Businesses, public bodies, and other non-domestic participants in the scheme may see payments changed before the scheme ends. The law also allows closure payments, including one-off, periodic, or instalment payments, and lets payments be calculated using assumed heat generation where needed.
