Calculating a generating station's RO eligible renewable outputE+W
29.—(1) Subject to article 30, the RO eligible renewable output of a generating station in any month is equal to
(2) In paragraph (1)—
(a)A is the RO output electricity of the station during the month in question, less—
(i)any electricity generated by the station during that month from fossil fuel, and
(ii)any ineligible electricity generated by the station during that month; and
(b)B is—
(i)where the RO input electricity used by the station during the month in question does not exceed 0.5% of the RO output electricity of the station during that month, zero; and
(ii)in any other case, the RO input electricity used by the station during that month.
(3) For the purposes of paragraph (2), where a generating station generates electricity from fossil fuel in any month, the amount of electricity so generated is equal to
(4) In paragraph (3)—
(a)“B” has the same meaning as in paragraph (2);
(b)C is the RO output electricity of the station during the month in question;
(c)D is the energy content of all of the fossil fuel used in generating the RO output electricity of the station during that month;
(d)E is the energy content of any fossil fuel used by the station to generate ineligible electricity during that month; and
(e)F is the energy content of all of the fuels used in generating that station's RO output electricity during that month.
(5) In this article, “ineligible electricity” means electricity which is generated using the RO capacity of a generating station and which is—
(a)electricity in respect of which ROCs are not to be issued by virtue of Part 7, or
(b)electricity in respect of which the Authority has decided to refuse to issue a ROC in accordance with article 24(1) or 25(3).
