Notification of actions and determination of reductions in carbon emissions E+W+S

19.— [F1 (1) A supplier must notify the Authority not later than 31st January 2013 of the number and type of qualifying actions which it has completed in respect of the following—

(a) the carbon emissions reduction obligation;

(b) the insulation obligation;

(c) the priority group obligation; and

(d) the super priority group obligation.

(2) On receipt of that notification, the Authority must—

(a) verify that the qualifying actions notified under paragraph (1) have not been approved as qualifying actions under the Electricity and Gas (Community Energy Saving Programme) Order 2009; and

(b) determine the carbon emissions to be attributed to those actions which the Authority is satisfied should count for the purposes of this Order.]

(3) To determine the reduction for a standard action, [F2 except a standard action listed in paragraph (3A),] the Authority must apply to that action the appropriate carbon co-efficient values set out in Schedule 3.

[F3 (3A) To determine the reduction for a standard action which is—

(a) loft insulation plus, the Authority must—

(i) apply to that action the appropriate carbon co-efficient values set out in Schedule 3; and

(ii) increase the reduction in carbon emissions achieved by—

(aa) 100% where the loft insulation is installed in the property of a domestic energy user who is a member of the priority group;

(bb) 50% where the loft insulation is installed in the property of a domestic energy user who is not in the priority group;

(cc) 50% where the loft insulation is promoted through a retail outlet.

(b) a real-time display, the Authority must do so in accordance with paragraph (4A)(a) or (b), as applicable, but must not increase the reduction by 50%;

(c) a home energy advice package, the Authority must do so in accordance with paragraph (4A)(c) but must not increase the reduction by 50%.]

(4) To determine the reduction for a market transformation action, [F4 except a market transformation action which is described in paragraph (4A),] the Authority must—

(a) apply to that action the appropriate carbon co-efficient values set out in Schedule 3; and

(b) increase the reduction in carbon emissions achieved by that action by 50%.

[F5 (4A) To determine the reduction for a market transformation action which is the provision of—

(a) a real-time display which does not use a short-life battery, the Authority must attribute a carbon emissions reduction of 0.996 lifetime tonnes of carbon dioxide and increase the carbon emissions reduction by 50%;

[F6 (b) a real-time display which uses a short-life battery, the Authority must—

(i) subject to paragraph (ii), attribute a carbon emissions reduction of 0.498 lifetime tonnes of carbon dioxide and increase the carbon emissions reduction by 50%; or

(ii) where the real-time display was provided between 11th September 2008 and 21st July 2009, attribute a carbon emissions reduction of 0.747 lifetime tonnes of carbon dioxide and increase the carbon emissions reduction by 50%;]

(c) a home energy advice package, the Authority must attribute a carbon emissions reduction of 0.675 lifetime tonnes of carbon dioxide and increase the carbon emissions reduction by 50%.]

(5) To determine the reduction for a priority group flexibility action, the Authority must do so in accordance with article 20.

(6) To determine the reduction for a demonstration action, the Authority must do so in accordance with article 21.
