7.—(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2), in this paragraph “bankable amount” in relation to a scheme year means the difference between—
(a)the emissions target for that year; and
(b)the amount of reportable emissions stated in the emissions report for that year.
(2) Where the carrying out of regulated activities at an excluded installation has been suspended for a period, in circumstances where the installation would be deemed to have permanently ceased the carrying out of regulated activities were it an installation to which Schedule 6 applied, the bankable amount is zero in relation to any scheme year in which that period (or any part of that period) falls.
(3) For the purposes of deciding whether the circumstances mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) apply, the operator may make an application under paragraph 7(2) of Schedule 6.
(4) Subject to sub-paragraph (5), where for any scheme year (“S”) the bankable amount is greater than zero the regulator—
(a)may increase the emissions target for the installation for the following scheme year by the bankable amount; and
(b)must in that case vary the permit by substituting that increased emissions target for the existing target.
(5) Except where the excluded installation primarily provides services to a hospital, if increasing the emissions target under sub-paragraph (4) would result in an emissions target which exceeds the maximum amount, the increased emissions target must instead be equal to the maximum amount.
(6) Where the amount of reportable emissions stated in the emissions report for S is amended following a determination of emissions under regulation 44(3), the regulator must—
(a)calculate the bankable amount using the data as so determined; and
(b)where an increased emissions target has been substituted under sub-paragraph (4)(b), make a further variation of the permit to substitute a revised emissions target.
(7) Where an increased emissions target for a scheme year has been substituted following an application under paragraph 6(1), but the application was determined in the following year, the regulator must—
(a)calculate any bankable amount for the scheme year using that increased target; and
(b)vary the permit to substitute a revised emissions target for the following year, based on the amount so calculated.
