Estimated reduction in carbon emissionsE+W+S

15.—(1) The Authority must estimate the reduction in carbon emissions for an action which it approves as a qualifying action.

(2) To estimate the reduction for a standard action, [F1except a standard action listed in paragraph (2A),] the Authority must apply to that action the appropriate carbon co-efficient values set out in Schedule 3.

[F2(2A) To estimate the reduction for a standard action which is—

(a)loft insulation plus, the Authority must—

(i)apply to that action the appropriate carbon co-efficient values set out in Schedule 3; and

(ii)increase the reduction in carbon emissions expected to be achieved in accordance with article 19(3A)(a)(ii) as if the reduction in carbon emissions expected to be achieved by such action is achieved;

(b)a real-time display, the Authority must do so in accordance with article 19(4A)(a) or (b), as applicable, as if the reduction in carbon emissions expected to be achieved by such action is achieved but must not increase the reduction by 50%;

(c)a home energy advice package, the Authority must do so in accordance with article 19(4A)(c) as if the reduction in carbon emissions expected to be achieved by such action is achieved but must not increase the reduction by 50%.]

(3) To estimate the reduction for a market transformation action, [F3except a market transformation action which is the provision of a real-time display or a home energy advice package,] the Authority must—

(a)apply to that action the appropriate carbon co-efficient values set out in Schedule 3; and

(b)increase the reduction in carbon emissions expected to be achieved by that action by 50%.

[F4(3A) To estimate the reduction for a market transformation action which is the provision of—

(a)a real-time display, the Authority must do so in accordance with article 19(4A)(a) or (b), as applicable, as if the reduction in carbon emissions expected to be achieved by such action is achieved;

(b)a home energy advice package, the Authority must do so in accordance with article 19(4A)(c) as if the reduction in carbon emissions expected to be achieved by such action is achieved.]

(4) To estimate the reduction for a priority group flexibility action, the Authority must do so in accordance with article 20 as if the reduction in carbon emissions expected to be achieved by such action is achieved.

(5) To estimate the reduction for a demonstration action, the Authority must use the formula in article 21.

(6) The Authority must notify a supplier of the estimates it makes under this article.

Reporting and monitoringE+W+S

16.—(1) A supplier must provide to the Authority—

(a)information relating to—

(i)its proposals for complying with any aspect of its [F5carbon emissions reduction obligation, insulation obligation, priority group obligation and super priority group obligation;] and

[F6(ii)whether the supplier has complied with those obligations, including such information which the Authority has informed the supplier it requires for the purposes of verifying that no qualifying action under the Electricity and Gas (Community Energy Saving Programme) Order 2009 is counted for the purposes of compliance under this Order;]

(b)in relation to a demonstration action—

(i)the information obtained by the supplier on whether the action is reducing carbon emissions; and

(ii)the supplier’s assessment of the effectiveness of the action at promoting a reduction in carbon emissions;

and

[F7(c)from 1st August 2010, in relation to the provision of solid wall insulation, approved as a standard action, market transformation action or a priority group flexibility action, information relating to the main fuel source used to heat the premises where the solid wall insulation is installed.]

(2) The information must be provided by a supplier in such form and at such time as the Authority may reasonably request.

(3) Information provided under paragraph (1)(b) must be published by the Authority but it may do so in such form as it thinks fit.

(4) By 31st July 2009 and 31st July 2010 the Authority must submit to the Secretary of State a report setting out in respect of the year ending on the preceding 31st March the progress made—

(a)by each supplier towards complying with the supplier’s—

(i)carbon emissions reduction obligation;

(ii)priority group obligation;

and

(b)towards achieving the overall carbon emissions reduction target.

[F8(5) By 31st July 2011, 31st July 2012 and 30th April 2013 the Authority must submit to the Secretary of State a report setting out in respect of the year ending on the preceding 31st March the progress made—

(a)by each supplier towards complying with the supplier’s—

(i)carbon emissions reduction obligation;

(ii)insulation obligation;

(iii)priority group obligation; and

(iv)super priority group obligation;

and

(b)towards achieving the overall carbon emissions reduction target, including information about the percentage of the overall target which has been met by all suppliers by the promotion of real-time displays, home energy advice packages and market transformation actions.]
