EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


Schedule 6 to the Finance Act 2000 contains provisions relating to the exemption of combined heat and power stations from climate change levy. Depending on the extent to which such stations satisfy prescribed conditions, they are either fully or partly exempt from levy.

These Regulations relate to certificates to be issued by the Secretary of State in respect of these stations.

Regulation 3 contains provisions relating to applications for, and the content and validity of, certificates.

Regulation 4 provides for the variation and revocation of certificates. It includes provision for the variation of certificates if a combined heat and power station which was previously certified as being partly exempt subsequently satisfies the conditions for full exemption, and vice versa, or if its efficiency percentage falls below or rises above the prescribed threshold efficiency percentage.
