PART 5RO eligible renewable output
Calculating a generating station's RO eligible renewable output29
1
Subject to article 30, the RO eligible renewable output of a generating station in any month is equal to
2
In paragraph (1)—
a
A is the RO output electricity of the station during the month in question, less—
i
any electricity generated by the station during that month from fossil fuel, and
ii
any ineligible electricity generated by the station during that month; and
b
B is—
i
where the RO input electricity used by the station during the month in question does not exceed 0.5% of the RO output electricity of the station during that month, zero; and
ii
in any other case, the RO input electricity used by the station during that month.
3
For the purposes of paragraph (2), where a generating station generates electricity from fossil fuel in any month, the amount of electricity so generated is equal to
4
In paragraph (3)—
a
“B” has the same meaning as in paragraph (2);
b
C is the RO output electricity of the station during the month in question;
c
D is the energy content of all of the fossil fuel used in generating the RO output electricity of the station during that month;
d
E is the energy content of any fossil fuel used by the station to generate ineligible electricity during that month; and
e
F is the energy content of all of the fuels used in generating that station's RO output electricity during that month.
5
In this article, “ineligible electricity” means electricity which is generated using the RO capacity of a generating station and which is—
a
electricity in respect of which ROCs are not to be issued by virtue of Part 7, or
b
electricity in respect of which the Authority has decided to refuse to issue a ROC in accordance with article 24(1) or 25(3).
