a hospital or small emitter permit is in force for an installation that contains emissions targets for a scheme year in the 2021-2025 allocation period; and

b

the installation is included in the hospital and small emitter list for 2026-2030.

The regulator must, on or before 31st December 2025—

a

calculate an emissions target for the installation for each scheme year in the 2026-2030 allocation period; and

b

vary the installation's hospital or small emitter permit under paragraph 6 of Schedule 6 to include those emissions targets.
