PART 4 Estimates, reporting and monitoring Estimated reduction in carbon emissions 18 1 The Authority must estimate the reduction in carbon emissions for the provision of— a a connection to a district heating scheme; and b an upgrade of a district heating system. 2 To estimate the reduction for a connection to a district heating scheme or an upgrade of a district heating system the Authority must apply to that action the appropriate carbon co-efficient values set out in Schedule 3. 3 The Authority must notify a generator or a supplier of the estimate it makes under this article. Reporting and monitoring 19 1 Generators and suppliers must provide to the Authority information relating to— a their proposals for complying with any aspect of their carbon emissions reduction obligation; and b whether they have complied with that obligation. 2 The information must be provided by generators and suppliers in such form and at such time as the Authority may reasonably require. 3 Information provided under sub-paragraph (1)(b) must be published by the Authority but it may do so in such form as it thinks fit. 4 By 1st May in the years 2010, 2011 and 2012 the Authority must submit to the Secretary of State a report setting out, in respect of the year ending on the last day of the preceding December, the progress made— a by each generator and supplier towards complying with their carbon emissions reduction obligation; b towards achieving the carbon emissions reduction targets in article 3(2); and c towards achieving the overall carbon emissions reduction target under this Order. PART 5 Transfers, trading, determination and reporting Transfers 20 1 The carbon emissions reduction obligation of one generator or supplier (“person A”) may be treated as achieved in whole or part by qualifying action completed by a generator or a supplier (“person B”) (“a transfer”). 2 A transfer only has effect if approved by the Authority. 3 To obtain approval, persons A and B must— a apply for approval in writing to the Authority by 31st December 2012; and b provide to the Authority such information, including the number and type of qualifying actions in question, as the Authority may reasonably require. 4 The Authority must not approve a transfer where it has reasonable grounds to believe that, if the transfer were approved, the carbon emissions reduction obligation placed on person B will not be achieved. 5 If the Authority decides not to approve a transfer under paragraph (4) it must notify persons A and B of the reasons for that decision. 6 The completed qualifying action under a transfer does not count towards the carbon emissions reduction obligation of person B. Trading 21 1 A generator or a supplier (“transferor”) may trade up to 100% of its carbon emissions reduction obligation with any generator or supplier (“transferee”) (“a trade”). 2 A trade only has effect if— a approved by the Authority; and b made between 1st March 2010 and 30th September 2012. 3 To obtain approval, a transferor and transferee must— a apply for approval in writing; and b provide to the Authority such information, including the amount of the carbon emissions reduction obligation to be traded, as the Authority may reasonably require. 4 Upon receiving an application under paragraph (3), the Authority must determine whether or not it approves a trade. 5 The Authority must not approve a trade where it has reasonable grounds to believe that, if the trade was approved, the carbon emissions reduction obligation placed on the transferee will not be achieved. 6 If the Authority approves a trade, it must— a adjust, as appropriate, the carbon emissions reduction obligations of each party; and b notify each party of their adjusted carbon emissions reduction obligation. 7 If the Authority decides not to approve a trade under paragraph (5) it must notify each party of the reasons for that decision. Notification of actions 22 1 Generators and suppliers must notify the Authority not later than 31st January 2013 of— a the overall number and type of qualifying actions which they have completed; b the number and type of qualifying actions provided at particular premises; c the number of qualifying actions provided in a particular area of low income. 2 On receipt of that notification, the Authority must determine the reduction in carbon emissions to be attributed to those actions. Determination of reduction in carbon emissions 23 To determine the reduction for a qualifying action the Authority must— a apply to that action the appropriate carbon co-efficient value set out in Schedule 3; and b if the qualifying action is listed in the first column of Table 3, set out in article 24, increase or decrease the carbon emissions reduction achieved by the corresponding percentage in the second column of Table 3. Determination of whole house bonus 24 1 Where more than one qualifying action of a type referred to in the first column of Table 3, set out in this article, is provided at the same premises, the Authority must determine the carbon emissions reduction in accordance with paragraph (2). 2 Where paragraph (1) applies, the Authority must— a determine the whole house bonus applicable to each qualifying action by reference to the corresponding percentage in column 3 of Table 3; b determine the sum total of any whole house bonuses applicable (“the total whole house bonus”); and c further increase the carbon emissions reduction determined under article 23 for each qualifying action listed in the first column of Table 3 by the total whole house bonus.
