Since then, we have seen some of the highest applications received YTD. The increase in applications received has been due to regulation changes impacting heat pumps whereby applications submitted on or after the 22nd May 2018 require metering for performance. Despite the increase in applications received, processing has also increased, meaning, after an initial increase, the queue has remained relatively static over the last few months. Experienced staff are able to focus on the older, more complex applications, whilst newer staff are making progress with incoming applications. In January 2019, there was a 53% increase in applications from the previous month. This can be attributed to a drop in applications in January due to an issue that meant applicants were unable to apply with MCS certificates created in early January. Applications continue to be monitored for any emerging trends. Policy areas Environmental programmesDomestic RHI
