Biomass boiler madness

[Woodworks]

Some time back I went to see a place with 2 large biomass boilers on the RHI. There is no accumulator tank and one of them has to be on 24-7 if they want some hot water. There is no insulation on the above ground pipes and they are burning soaking wet wood. 

 

Will they still get the RHI with it set up like this? Just seems ludicrous to be so wasteful and it really pi$$ed me off.

The wood burned should be sustainably sourced, and within the spec of the manufacturer of the boiler. The installation would have been signed off as eligible for RHI. 

 

So it doesn't sound like they are claiming/bothered about a potential audit

Whether they're claiming RHI or not I have no idea but they won't be any more if they get an audit. Running them flat out is their loss anyway as the payment rate drops about two thirds after 1300 hours maximum.
