20.—(1) In this paragraph, an installation's “bankable amount”, in relation to a scheme year, means ET – RE, where—
ET is the installation's emissions target for that year;
RE is the reportable emissions stated in the installation's emissions report for that year.
(2) But if the installation's emissions target for a scheme year is calculated in accordance with any of the following provisions (emissions targets based on estimates), for the purposes of this paragraph the installation's bankable amount for that scheme year must be treated as zero—
(a)paragraph 16(4)(a);
(b)paragraph 16(5)(a) or (b);
(c)paragraph 17(4)(a);
(d)paragraph 17(5)(a) or (b).
(3) Subject to sub-paragraphs (5) and (6), where an installation's bankable amount for a scheme year (the “scheme year in question”) is greater than zero—
(a)the regulator may increase the installation's emissions target for the following scheme year (the “next scheme year”) by the bankable amount; and
(b)if the regulator does so, the regulator must vary the installation's hospital or small emitter permit under paragraph 6 of Schedule 6 by substituting the increased emissions target for the existing target.
(4) Subject to sub-paragraph (6), where the amount of reportable emissions stated in the installation's emissions report for the scheme year in question is amended following a determination of emissions under article 45, the regulator must—
(a)calculate the bankable amount for the scheme year in question as if RE in sub-paragraph (1) were the amount of reportable emissions for that year as amended following the determination; and
(b)where an increased emissions target for the next scheme year has been substituted under sub-paragraph (3)(b), further vary the permit under paragraph 6 of Schedule 6 by substituting a revised emissions target for that year, based on the revised calculation of the bankable amount under paragraph (a).
(5) Sub-paragraph (3) does not apply if the scheme year in question is—
(a)the 2025 scheme year;
(b)the 2030 scheme year.
(6) Except where the installation is a hospital-qualifying installation, if increasing the emissions target for the next scheme year would result in an emissions target that exceeds the maximum amount, the emissions target must be increased by such amount as results in an emissions target of the maximum amount.
