What Member of the Northern Ireland Assembly for Fermanagh and South Tyrone was involved in the Renewable Heat Incentive scandal?
Renewable Heat Incentive scandal The Renewable Heat Incentive scandal (RHI scandal), also referred to as the Cash for Ash scandal, is a political scandal in Northern Ireland that centres on a failed renewable energy incentive scheme that has been reported to potentially cost the public purse almost £500 million. The plan was overseen by Arlene Foster of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), the then-Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Investment, who failed to introduce proper cost controls, allowing the plan to spiral out of control. The scheme worked by paying applicants to use renewable energy. The rate paid was more than the cost of the fuel (the same as in the GBRHI scheme) however, meaning applicants were making profits simply by heating their properties.
