Eligible Facilities

3.—(1) This regulation specifies the circumstances in which an installation or site is to be taken to be a facility for the purposes of determining in connection with concluding or varying a climate change agreement whether the facility is to be, or is to continue to be, identified in the agreement as a facility to which the agreement applies.

(2) An installation covered by paragraph 51 of Schedule 6 to the Act shall be taken at the relevant time to be a facility for the purposes specified in paragraph (1) only if—

(a) the taxable commodities supplied to the installation by taxable supplies in the following 12 month period are intended to be burned (or, in the case of electricity, consumed)—

(i) in the installation, or

(ii) on the site where the installation is situated but not in the installation, and

(b) the amounts of relevant commodities subject to each of those intentions are such that the condition specified in paragraph (4) is satisfied.

(3) A site shall be taken at the relevant time to be a facility for the purposes specified in paragraph (1) only if—
