Issue of SROCs to agents
This section has no associated Executive Note
35.—(1) This article applies to a SROC which certifies the matters within section 32B(5), (6) or (8) of the Act (a “relevant SROC”).
(2) Where the generating stations to which a relevant SROC relates are operated by two or more persons (“the operators”), that SROC must be issued to an agent appointed for the purpose by the operators.
(3) The Authority must be notified in writing of the agent's appointment, name and address.
(4) That notification may be provided to the Authority by the operators (or any of them) or the agent.
(5) The Authority must be notified in writing if the agent's appointment is terminated.
(6) That notification may be provided to the Authority by the operators (or any of them) or the agent.
(7) Where notice is given under paragraph (5) and received by the Authority, the termination will take effect (subject to paragraph (8)) at the end of the obligation period during which it is given, and until the expiration of that obligation period the Authority must continue to issue any relevant SROCs to the agent.
(8) Notwithstanding paragraph (7), after the expiration of that obligation period the Authority must continue to issue relevant SROCs to the agent where those SROCs relate to electricity generated during that obligation period.
(9) Paragraphs (7) and (8) do not apply in any case where the Authority is satisfied, by evidence produced to it, that owing to exceptional circumstances the termination should have immediate effect.
(10) Where an agent's appointment has been terminated the agent is required to return to the operators any relevant information relating to the generation of electricity by their stations.
(11) Where any provision of this Order requires or permits something to be done by, to or in respect of an agent appointed under this article and the agent's appointment is terminated before that thing is done, references to that agent (however framed) are to be construed–
(a)where a successor to the agent has been appointed under this article, as references to that successor; and
(b)in any other case, as references to the operators of the generating stations for whom the agent acted before the appointment was terminated.
