Issue of ROCs to agentsE+W
This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum
19.—(1) This article applies to a ROC which certifies the matters within section 32B(5), (6) or (8) of the Act (a “relevant ROC”).
(2) Where the generating stations to which a relevant ROC relates are operated by two or more persons (“the operators”), that ROC must be issued to an agent appointed for the purpose by the operators.
(3) The Authority must be notified in writing of—
(a)the agent's appointment, name and address; and
(b)any termination of the agent's appointment.
(4) A notification under paragraph (3) is to be given by the operators (or any of them) or the agent.
(5) Where notice is given under paragraph (3)(b) and received by the Authority, the termination takes effect (subject to paragraph (6)) at the end of the obligation period during which it is given, and until the expiration of that obligation period the Authority must continue to issue any relevant ROCs to the agent.
(6) Notwithstanding that termination of the agent's appointment, after the expiration of that obligation period the Authority must continue to issue relevant ROCs to the agent where those ROCs relate to electricity generated during that obligation period.
(7) Paragraphs (5) and (6) do not apply in any case where the Authority is satisfied, by evidence produced to it, that owing to exceptional circumstances the termination should have immediate effect (in which case the termination takes effect on receipt of the notice under paragraph (3)(b)).
(8) Where any provision of this Order requires or permits something to be done by, to or in respect of an agent appointed under this article and the agent's appointment is terminated before that thing is done, references to that agent (however framed) are to be construed—
(a)where a successor to the agent has been appointed under this article, as references to that successor;
(b)in any other case, as references to the operators of the generating stations for whom the agent acted before they terminated the appointment.

Impact Assessments
Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:
- Why the government is proposing to intervene;
- The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
- How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
- The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
