Draft Legislation:
This is a draft item of legislation. This draft has since been made as a UK Statutory Instrument: The Contracts for Difference (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2018 No. 895
EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Contracts for Difference (Allocation) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/2011) (“the Allocation Regulations”) and the Contracts for Difference (Definition of Eligible Generator) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/2010) (“the Eligible Generator Regulations”).
Regulation 2 inserts a new definition of “remote island wind CFD unit” and inserts a new regulation 27A into the Allocation Regulations, which sets out the additional qualification requirements which an application in respect of a remote island wind CFD unit must satisfy.
Regulation 2 includes a reference to the National Electricity Transmission System Security and Quality of Supply Standard, version 2.3, February 2017 issued by National Grid Electricity Transmission plc (registered company number 2366977). Copies of that document can be made available on request from the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, 1 Victoria Street, London, SW1H 0ET.
Regulation 3 amends the Eligible Generator Regulations. Regulations 3(1)-(5) remove the requirement for a “dedicated biomass with CHP station” or “energy from waste with CHP station” to be “an accredited CHP station”.
Regulation 3(6) amends the definition of the term “waste” to make clear that it does not include any substance intentionally modified or contaminated to fall within the definition of “waste” contained in Article 3(1) of Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste.
Insofar as these Regulations have an impact on the costs of business, the voluntary sector and the public sector an impact assessment has been carried out and is available from the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy at 1 Victoria Street, London, SW1H 0ET and published with the Explanatory Memorandum alongside this instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk.
