ELECTRICITY
This Order is made under Article 52 of the Energy (Northern Ireland) Order 2003 and imposes an obligation (“the renewables obligation”) on all electricity suppliers, who are licensed under the Electricity (Northern Ireland) Order 1992, to supply to customers in Northern Ireland specified amounts of electricity generated from renewable sources. As alternatives, in respect of all or part of an electricity supplier’s renewables obligation, an electricity supplier is permitted to provide evidence that other licensed electricity suppliers have supplied electricity generated using renewable sources instead of it or to make a payment to the Northern Ireland Authority for Energy Regulation (“the Authority”). Renewable sources include sources of energy such as wind, water, solar and biomass.
