Generating stations using waste or fossil fuel
60.—(1) ROCs are not to be issued in respect of any electricity generated by a generating station during a month in which it generates electricity wholly from renewable sources which consist of or include waste unless—
(a)the waste is biomass,
(b)the waste is a liquid consisting wholly or mainly of hydrocarbon compounds,
(c)the waste is in the form of a liquid or gaseous fuel produced by means of gasification, pyrolysis or anaerobic digestion, or
(d)the station is a qualifying CHP station.
(2) ROCs are not to be issued in respect of any electricity generated by a generating station during a month in which it generates electricity partly from renewable sources, and partly from fossil fuel other than renewable waste, unless—
(a)the renewable sources used by the station during the month in question consist of—
(i)biomass,
(ii)biomass and Solid Recovered Fuel, or
(iii)a liquid or gaseous fuel produced by means of gasification, pyrolysis or anaerobic digestion; and
(b)any waste used by the station during that month is—
(i)biomass,
(ii)liquid consisting wholly or mainly of hydrocarbon compounds,
(iii)in the form of a liquid or gaseous fuel produced by means of gasification, pyrolysis or anaerobic digestion, or
(iv)Solid Recovered Fuel.
(3) In determining how electricity has been generated for the purposes of this article, no account is to be taken of any fossil fuel or waste which the generating station uses for permitted ancillary purposes.
