Creation of abatement certificates in respect of demand side abatement activities
54 Creation of abatement certificates in respect of demand side abatement activities
On the commencement of the energy savings scheme, an abatement certificate cannot be created in respect of a demand side abatement activity that is a recognised energy saving activity, unless the activity took place before the commencement of the energy savings scheme.
On the commencement of the energy savings scheme, the accreditation of any person as an abatement certificate provider under Part 8A is taken to be subject to a condition that the person must not create abatement certificates in respect of a demand side abatement activity that is a recognised energy saving activity, unless the activity took place before the commencement of the energy savings scheme.
The Scheme Administrator under Part 8A may, by notice in writing to an accredited abatement certificate provider, cancel the accreditation of the person as an abatement certificate provider in respect of any demand side abatement activity that, on the commencement of the energy savings scheme, is a recognised energy saving activity.
The regulations and greenhouse gas benchmark rules under Part 8A apply in relation to this clause in the same way as they apply to Part 8A.
Note.
The regulations and greenhouse gas benchmark rules under Part 8A can specify when an activity is considered to have “taken place”.
