(3) Subject to Part 9, the Authority must make periodic support payments to participants who are producers of biomethane for injection.

(a)drying digestate, where the heat is generated by an accredited RHI installation with a tariff start date—

(i)on or after the date on which these Regulations come into force; or

(a)the installation replaces a fossil fuel heat source which has been used to dry woodfuel in two out of the three preceding years;

(b)the installation will meet a heat demand for commercial woodfuel drying that has existed previously in any two of the preceding three years; and

(c)the capacity or heat output, or both, of the installation is not more than 10% above that of the fossil fuel heat source it replaces.

(8) This paragraph applies to an installation where—

(a)the Authority is satisfied that the development of the installation commenced before 29th January 2018; and

(b)the application for accreditation was, in the Authority’s opinion, properly made no later than 6 months after the date on which these Regulations come into force.

(9) For the purposes of paragraph (5)(b)(i) the Authority may request evidence from the applicant to demonstrate that the wood which is being, or is intended to be, dried is not woodfuel.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
