EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Renewables Obligation Order (Northern Ireland) 2009 (“the 2009 Order”) and makes transitional provision.
The 2009 Order imposes an obligation (“the renewables obligation”) on all electricity suppliers which supply electricity in Northern Ireland. Suppliers must produce, by a specified day, a certain number of renewables obligation certificates (“NIROCs”) in respect of each megawatt hour of electricity that each supplies in Northern Ireland during a specified period known as an obligation period. The renewables obligation is administered by the Northern Ireland Authority for Utility Regulation (“the Authority”) who issue NIROCs to renewable electricity generators in respect of their renewable output.
Article 2 substitutes Article 26 of the 2009 Order to replace the provisions for determining the amount of electricity which is eligible for a higher level of support by virtue of being generated by a qualifying combined heat and power generating station, and for determining what that higher level of support should be. The new bands are set out in Parts 2C to 2E of Schedule 2 to the 2009 Order, as inserted by Article 3.
An explanatory memorandum is available alongside the Order on www.legislation.gov.uk.
