The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme Order 2020

Emissions targets: errors

22.—(1) This paragraph applies where the amount of an installation’s reportable emissions used to calculate the installation’s emission targets (including revised emissions targets under paragraph 20) for scheme years in an allocation period is amended following a determination of emissions under article 45.

(2) The regulator may calculate revised emissions targets for the current and future scheme years in the allocation period and, if the regulator does so, the regulator must vary the installation’s hospital or small emitter permit under paragraph 6 of Schedule 6 to include those emissions targets.

(3) In calculating revised emissions targets under sub-paragraph (2), the regulator may take account of what revised emissions targets for past scheme years in the allocation period calculated under this paragraph might have been if the determination had been made earlier (but may not calculate revised emissions targets for past years).

(4) In this paragraph—

(a) a reference to reportable emissions used to calculate emissions targets for the 2021-2025 allocation period includes a reference to reportable emissions within the meaning of GGETSR 2012; and

(b) a reference to a determination of emissions under article 45 includes, in the case of reportable emissions referred to in paragraph (a), a reference to a determination of emissions under regulation 44(3) of GGETSR 2012 or Article 70(1) of the Monitoring and Reporting Regulation 2012.
