About the RHO

 

Introduction of the RHO is a key priority for the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment. Priority drafting of the Renewable Heat Obligation Bill 2025 is now underway. Once drafting is finalised, the scheme will then be submitted to Government seeking approval to publish and begin the enactment process, ensuring legislation is in place to underpin administration of the scheme.

 

The National Oil Reserves Agency (NORA) has been appointed the RHO scheme administrator. We are currently developing detailed scheme terms and conditions and undertaking on-going engagement with obligated parties and key stakeholders.

 

Further detail in relation to scheme development, including RHO information and latest briefing sessions, is available under RHO Resources.
