(c)deduct the T-1 auction set aside from the target capacity for the capacity year corresponding to delivery year x.
(2B) For the purposes of paragraph (2A)(b), the Secretary of State must determine the T-1 auction set aside by applying a 95% confidence interval around the target capacity for the capacity year corresponding to delivery year x.
(2C) For each T-1 auction, where the delivery year corresponds with delivery year x, the Secretary of State must determine the auction parameter referred to in regulation 11(1)(b) (auction target capacity) to be an amount equal to or greater than 50% of the T-1 auction set aside if previously determined under paragraph (2A)(b) for the T-1 auction for delivery year x.]

“the 95% confidence interval” means the range of values within which the target capacity for a capacity year may be expected to lie with a 0.95 level of probability;
“auction target capacity” has the meaning given in regulation 11(3).]
