Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Act (including any effects on those provisions):
For section 32 of the 1989 Act there is substituted—
(1)The Secretary of State may by order impose on each electricity supplier falling within a specified description (a “designated electricity supplier”) an obligation to do what is set out in subsection (3) (and that obligation is referred to in this section and sections 32A to 32C as the “renewables obligation”).
(2)The descriptions of electricity supplier upon which an order may impose the renewables obligation are those supplying electricity—
(a)in Great Britain;
(b)in England and Wales; or
(c)in Scotland,
excluding such categories of supplier (if any) as are specified.
(3)Subject to the provisions of this section and sections 32A and 32C, the renewables obligation is that the designated electricity supplier must, before a specified day (or before each of several specified days, or before a specified day in each year), produce to the Authority evidence of a specified kind showing—
(a)that it has supplied to customers in Great Britain during a specified period such amount of electricity generated by using renewable sources as is specified in relation to such a supplier; or
(b)that another electricity supplier has done so (or that two or more others have done so); or
(c)that, between them, they have done so.
(4)If the order applies only to electricity suppliers in part of Great Britain, it may specify that the only electricity supplied which counts towards discharging the renewables obligation is electricity supplied to customers in that part of Great Britain.
(5)Evidence of the supply of electricity may not be produced more than once in relation to the same electricity.
(6)In the case of electricity generated by a generating station fuelled or driven partly by renewable sources and partly by fossil fuel, only the proportion attributable to the renewable sources can count towards discharging the renewables obligation (but this is subject to section 32A(1)(g)).
(7)Before making an order, the Secretary of State must consult—
(a)the Authority;
(b)the Council;
(c)the electricity suppliers to whom the proposed order would apply;
(d)the generators of electricity from renewable sources; and
(e)such other persons, if any, as he considers appropriate.
(8)In this section—
“fossil fuel” means coal, substances produced directly or indirectly from coal, lignite, natural gas, crude liquid petroleum, or petroleum products (and “natural gas” and “petroleum products” have the same meanings as in the M1Energy Act 1976);
“renewable sources” means sources of energy other than fossil fuel or nuclear fuel, but includes waste of which not more than a specified proportion is waste which is, or is derived from, fossil fuel;
“specified” means specified in the order.
(9)An order under this section shall not be made unless a draft of the instrument containing it has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, each House of Parliament.”

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
