These Regulations, which come into force on 1 April 2013, amend the Climate Change Levy (Combined Heat and Power Stations) Regulations 2005 (SI 2005/1714).

Electricity up to a specified, quantitative limit produced in a partly exempt combined heat and power station may be supplied exempt from climate change levy. Regulation 3 provides, for the purposes of calculating that quantitative limit, for supplies to a utility or for a domestic or non-business use of a charity to be disregarded, but requires the electrical equivalent of any mechanical output of the station produced otherwise than for the purpose of generating electricity to be included.

Regulation 4 revokes a transitional provision which is no longer necessary.
