Please see ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ for details regarding the timescales for which new effects are identified and recorded on this site.
1.Where an operator demonstrates, based on the data submitted in the activity level report and any additional data requested by the [F1regulator], that the decrease of the activity level of a sub-installation for which the amount of free allocation has been determined based on a heat or fuel benchmark is not related to a change of production levels of the sub-installation, but due to the increased energy efficiency of that sub-installation in accordance with paragraph 3 of this Article, compared to the one based on the baseline data or the new entrant data report, by more than 15 %, no adjustment of free allocation shall be made.
2.Where an operator fails to demonstrate, upon request of the [F2regulator], based on the data submitted in the activity level report and any additional data requested by the [F2regulator], that the increase of the activity level of a sub-installation for which the amount of free allocation has been determined based on a heat or fuel benchmark is related to a change of production levels of the sub-installation and not due to the decrease of the energy efficiency of that sub-installation in accordance with paragraph 3 of this Article, compared to the one based on the baseline data or the new entrant data report, by more than 15 %, the [F2regulator] may reject adjustment of free allocation.
3.For heat benchmark sub-installations and fuel benchmark sub-installations, the energy efficiency change shall be determined by comparing the quotients of the amount of heat or fuel used for the production of each product and the amounts of their respective production according to the baseline data report [F3or the new entrant data report] and after the change in the operation of the sub-installation has taken place. Such determination of energy efficiency shall be carried out for the production of each product covered by each PRODCOM code of the sub-installation under the list referred to in Article 2(2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3924/91(1) [F4or, where there is no PRODCOM code, by the code referred to in Section B or C of Annex 1 (NACE rev. 2) to Regulation (EC) No. 1893/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 as it has effect in EU law].
In accordance with the first subparagraph of this paragraph, the amounts of heat and fuel used for the production of each product shall be determined in line with the methodologies laid down in the monitoring methodology plan as approved in accordance with [F5Article 8] of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/331.
4.Where the activity level report submitted pursuant to Article 3 indicates that the rolling average of two years of a parameter listed in Article 16(5), Article 19, 20, 21 or 22 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/331, other than activity levels, has changed by more than 15 % for a sub-installation, compared with the values used to determine the initial level of free allocation, the free allocation of allowances [F6in respect of the sub-installation] shall be adjusted, as of the year following the two years used for determining the change of parameters, provided that the adjustment of the annual preliminary amount of emission allowances allocated for free to the sub-installation is at least 100 emission [F7allowances. The regulator must calculate that adjustment by increasing] or decreasing the free allocation for the relevant sub-installation using the new exact value of the parameter.
[F85.In this Article, where an application under Article 5 of the Free Allocation Regulation is made in respect of a new entrant that has not been operating for a full calendar year after the start of normal operation, a reference to the new entrant data report includes a reference to the activity level report submitted after the end of the first full calendar year of operation.]
