Regulation 12 Low-carbon heat targetI1
United Kingdom
A scheme participant has a low-carbon heat target for each scheme year for which it is a scheme participant, expressed as a number of units and calculated in accordance with this regulation.
A scheme participant’s low-carbon heat target for a scheme year is the number of units which is equal to the sum of—
F18% of the number of gas boilers in excess of 19,999 of which the scheme participant is the supplier and which are the subject of a qualifying sale during the scheme year; and
F28% of the number of oil boilers in excess of 999 of which the scheme participant is the supplier and which are the subject of a qualifying sale during the scheme year.
A scheme participant’s low-carbon heat target—
may be adjusted up or down in accordance with regulation 29 (correction of the registry); and
for a scheme year other than the 2025 scheme year, may be increased in accordance with regulation 27 (carry forward of part of low-carbon heat target).
The administrator must record a scheme participant’s low-carbon heat target in the registry.
Where a scheme participant’s low-carbon heat target, calculated in accordance with paragraph (2) and, where applicable, paragraph (3), is not a whole number, the target is to be rounded to the nearest whole number, rounding down any fraction of less than one half and rounding up any other fraction.
