17AA.—(1) This article applies in relation to the issue of SROCs in respect of the generation of electricity using a registered offshore wind turbine.

(2) SROCs are not to be issued in respect of any electricity generated using a registered offshore wind turbine, on or after the 20th anniversary of the date on which it was registered under article 58A (registration of offshore wind turbines) or 31st March 2037 (whichever is the earlier).

(3) Where the electricity generated by a generating station is generated in part using registered offshore wind turbines, but the amount of electricity so generated is not measured separately from electricity generated otherwise than by using those turbines, the electricity generated by it which is to be treated (for the purposes of paragraph (2)) as having been generated using those turbines is the relevant percentage (the relevant percentage for these purposes being the total installed capacity of those turbines at the date of generation of the electricity expressed as a percentage of the station’s total installed capacity at that date).

(4) Article 17A does not apply in relation to the issue of SROCs in respect of the generation of electricity using a registered offshore wind turbine.

(5) In this article, “registered offshore wind turbine” means a wind turbine which is registered under article 58A.]
