EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Feed-in Tariffs (Specified Maximum Capacity and Functions) Order 2010 (S.I. 2010/678) (“the 2010 Order”).
The 2010 Order gives functions to the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority (“the Authority”) in connection with the administration of the feed-in tariffs scheme (“the FIT scheme”). Other provisions of the FIT scheme are contained in the modifications to electricity supply licences made under section 41 of the Energy Act 2008 (c.32) which are available from the Department of Energy and Climate Change, 3 Whitehall Place, London, SW1A 2AW.
Article 2 amends article 15 of the 2010 Order (accreditation of extensions to accredited FIT installations) so that, in all cases where an installation is extended by increasing its capacity to generate electricity using the same energy source for which it is accredited, the extension is to be treated as a separate eligible installation and, if it is accredited to receive feed-in tariffs, is to be assigned a tariff code based on the aggregate capacity of both the extension and the existing installation.
Article 3 amends article 16 of the 2010 Order (accreditation of extensions to installations which are not accredited FIT installations) to clarify the circumstances in which paragraph (2) of that article applies.
Article 5 makes transitional provision. Paragraphs (2) and (3) of article 15 of the 2010 Order, which are revoked by this Order, will continue to apply to the accreditation of extensions in the two transitional cases set out in article 5(3) and (4). Under those paragraphs, extensions to an accredited FIT installation commissioned on or before the first anniversary of the confirmation date of the existing installation are to be treated as if they were part of the original installation for the purposes of accreditation.
An impact assessment has been prepared in respect of this Order and copies can be obtained from the Department of Energy and Climate Change, 3 Whitehall Place, London, SW1A 2AW.
