The Electricity and Gas (Energy Companies Obligation) Order 2012

Transfers

20.—(1) A qualifying action achieved by a supplier (“A”) may be regarded as achieved by another supplier (“B”) (“a transfer”) if that transfer is approved by the Administrator.

(2) A and B must—

(a) apply for approval in writing to the Administrator by 31st March 2015;

(b) provide to the Administrator such information, including the number and type of qualifying actions intended to be transferred, as the Administrator may reasonably require; and

(c) indicate whether B intends the qualifying action to be credited towards B’s—

(i) total carbon emissions reduction obligation;

(ii) total carbon saving community obligation; or

(iii) total home heating cost reduction obligation.

(3) The Administrator must approve a transfer unless it has reasonable grounds to believe that, if the transfer were approved, A would not be able to achieve its—

(a) total carbon emissions reduction obligation;

(b) total carbon saving community obligation; or

(c) total home heating cost reduction obligation.

(4) If the Administrator decides not to approve a transfer under paragraph (3) it must notify A and B of the reasons for that decision.

(5) If a transfer is approved, the qualifying action is treated as achieved by B and not A.
