24.—(1) A conversion notice must—
(a)set out the grounds for the notice;
(b)state that the installation is not a hospital or small emitter for the scheme year following the year in which the notice is given;
(c)state that the operator must comply with the conditions of a greenhouse gas emissions permit from 1st January (the “date of conversion”) in the scheme year following the year in which the notice is given;
[F1(d)state that, unless the monitoring plan already complies with the Monitoring and Reporting Regulation 2018, the operator must apply to the regulator to vary the monitoring plan so that it does comply with that Regulation.]
(2) Where a conversion notice is given, the regulator must convert, with effect from the date of conversion, the installation's hospital or small emitter permit (if any) into a greenhouse gas emissions permit by varying it under paragraph 6 of Schedule 6 so that the provisions of the permit are replaced by provisions that satisfy the requirements of paragraph 4 of Schedule 6.
[F2(3) Despite sub-paragraph (2)—
(a)where the monitoring plan does not already comply with the Monitoring and Reporting Regulation 2018, the regulator may revoke the permit under paragraph 12 of Schedule 6 instead of converting it if—
(i)the operator fails to apply to the regulator to vary the monitoring plan; or
(ii)the variations applied for are not such that the plan would comply with that Regulation;
(b)the regulator must revoke the permit instead of converting it if the regulator considers that the operator will not be capable of monitoring and reporting the installation’s reportable emissions in accordance with the monitoring and reporting conditions of a greenhouse gas emissions permit.]
(4) When varying a permit, the regulator may make only such variations as the regulator considers necessary in consequence of the installation ceasing to be a hospital or small emitter.
(5) The conversion of the permit does not affect the obligations of the operator under the permit in respect of specified emissions before the date of conversion.
