(1)Subsection (2) applies where regulations made under section A1(3) modify the net-zero emissions target year to a year which is in either—
(a)the 2021-2029 period, or
(b)the 2031-2039 period.
(2)The relevant target figure applying by virtue of section 3 for a year which is—
(a)in the same period as the net-zero emissions target year but before the net-zero emissions target year, is modified in accordance with subsection (4),
(b)the same as, or after, the net-zero emissions target year, is modified to become 100%.
(3)Where regulations made under section A1(3) modify the net-zero emissions target year to a year which is after 2041, the relevant target figure applying by virtue of section 3 for a year which is before the net-zero emissions target year (as set by those regulations) is modified in accordance with subsection (4).
(4)Where this subsection applies to a relevant target figure, that figure is modified to become a percentage figure calculated by—
(a)taking the difference between—
(i)the target figure applying for the interim target which immediately precedes the net-zero emissions target year, and
(ii)100%, and
(b)apportioning that difference in a way which results in there being an equal percentage point change between the percentage figure for each consecutive year in the period beginning with the year of the interim target which immediately precedes the net-zero emissions target year and ending with the net-zero emissions target year.
(5)Any modification under this section does not apply to a year which is the same as, or earlier than, the year in which the regulations under section A1(3) come into force.]
