Regulation 6 Calculation of reckonable energy from dedicated electricity generation plantF1
United Kingdom
This regulation applies to electricity generated in plant which is located in, and intended for supplying electricity for use by, a facility unless regulation 5A, 7, 7A or 7B applies to the electricity.
Where the electricity is used on other parts of a site, the electricity generated must be attributed to the facility and the rest of the site on a pro rata basis.
Where the electricity is generated from the combustion of exclusively non-renewable fuel, reckonable energy must be calculated by reference to the gross calorific value of the commodity burned to produce the electricity.
Where the electricity is generated from the combustion of exclusively renewable fuel, the quantity of electricity must be multiplied by a factor of 2.1 to convert it into reckonable energy.
Where the electricity is generated from the combustion of both renewable fuel and non-renewable fuel, reckonable energy must be calculated—
in accordance with paragraph (3), in respect of the proportion of the electricity equal to the proportion of relevant commodities burned to generate the electricity which are non-renewable fuel, calculated by reference to the gross calorific value of each commodity; and
in accordance with paragraph (4), in respect of the proportion of the electricity equal to the proportion of relevant commodities burned to generate the electricity which are renewable fuel, calculated by reference to the gross calorific value of each commodity.
