2.  In this Order, “municipal and industrial waste with combined heat and power generating stations” means generating stations which–

(a)are fuelled wholly or partly by one or more of the following–

(i)municipal waste;

(ii)industrial waste; and

(iii)fuel derived from either or both of the types of waste mentioned in sub-paragraphs (i) and (ii) above;

including stations fuelled partly by sewage matter where, in any period of the Order, such sewage matter used makes up no more than 10 per cent. of the weight of all the above fuel used including the sewage matter (all on a dry-weight basis), but excluding any such station as is partly fuelled by–

(aa)gas derived from a landfill site of any description; or

(bb)gas derived from sewage; or

(cc)sewage matter in excess of the proportion set out above; and

(b)are combined heat and power stations–

(i)which are built with all the equipment, up to and including the meter for measuring heat supplied from the generating station, necessary to maintain and measure a continuous heat output at least equal to 200 per cent. of the declared net capacity of the generating station;

(ii)n respect of which there are, or there are reasonable prospects of obtaining, contracts with third parties to supply heat which would–

(aa)require the station to supply at least the required annual heat output in relevant Period 7; and

(bb)require at least 50 per cent. of the heat actually supplied in each period of the Order to be used within buildings for the purposes of heating space or (other than for industrial purposes) heating water;

(iii)in respect of which there are prospects of the station supplying at least the required annual heat output to a third party in periods of the Order subsequent to relevant Period 7, where at least 50 per cent. of the heat actually supplied would be for the purposes of heating space or (other than for industrial purposes) heating water; and

(iv)which are subject to contractual arrangements in relation to the supply of their electricity which only entitle that electricity to receive a premium price in respect of a period of the Order where, in the previous period of the Order, the station has supplied at least either the required annual heat output or the adjusted annual heat output to a third party and where at least 50 per cent. of the heat actually supplied has been used within buildings for the purposes of heating space or (other than for industrial purposes) heating water;

and for the purpose of this sub-paragraph (b)–

  • “adjusted annual heat output” means the required annual heat output with the following adjustments–

    (aa)

    if in any relevant Period the generating station fails to supply the required annual heat output, then the table (set out in the definition of “required annual heat output”) shall be adjusted so that the value of H for that relevant Period shall also apply to the next relevant Period, and the value of H for all subsequent relevant Periods shall be adjusted in each case to be equal to the value of H (prior to such adjustment) for the relevant Period preceding each such period; and

    (bb)

    if in any relevant Period the generating station fails to supply the adjusted annual heat output, then the table (set out in the definition of “required annual heat output”) shall be further adjusted so that the value of H (as last adjusted) for that relevant Period shall also apply to the next relevant Period, and the value of H for all subsequent relevant Periods shall be further adjusted in each case to be equal to the value of H (as last adjusted) for the relevant Period preceding each such period;

  • “period of the Order” means a period commencing and ending on the dates specified in relation to Table C;

  • particular “relevant Periods” are ascertained by taking the first period of the Order as being relevant Period 1, the next period of the Order as relevant Period 2, and so forth;

  • “required annual heat output” means B kilowatt-hours of heat, where B is ascertained by the application of the formula–

    B = declared net capacity expressed in kilowatts × 8760hours × H

    where–

    • H has the value set out in the table below–

Article 4(1)

SCHEDULE 2CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

1.  The requirements referred to in article 4(1)(a) are–

(a)that planning permission and all necessary consents (including any necessary wayleave consents), easements and rights to enable any relevant non-fossil fuel generating station to be constructed and operated in accordance with and as contemplated by the terms of the relevant arrangements have been granted;

(b)that planning sion and all necessary consents (including any necessary wayleave consents), easements and rights to enable any public electricity supplier to whose electricity distribution system any relevant non-fossil fuel generating station is to be connected to comply with his obligations as contemplated by the terms of the relevant arrangements have been granted;

(c)that the operator has entered into, and there has come into force, a connection agreement;

(d)that the operator holds a licence or has the benefit of an exemption under Part I of the Act authorising him to generate electricity and to convey electricity from the place at which it is generated to the point of delivery for the purposes of the relevant arrangements;
