# The Contracts for Difference (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 2) Regulations 2025, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Contracts for Difference (Definition of Eligible Generator) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/2010) (the “Eligible Generator Regulations”) and the Electricity Market Reform (General) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/2013) (the “Market Reform Regulations”).
Regulation 3 of the Eligible Generator Regulations defines “eligible generator”, for the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part 2 of the Energy Act 2013 (c. 32), as including a person who intends to carry out a generating activity in relation to an eligible generator. The amendments made by regulation 2 provide that carrying out a generating activity includes the continuation of electricity generation by an existing biomass station and that the definition of an eligible generator includes a biomass station.
Regulation 3(3) inserts regulation 19 into the Market Reform Regulations. It allows the Secretary of State to direct a CFD counterparty to implement amendments relating to sustainability obligations in a CFD entered into following a direction under section 10(1) of the Energy Act 2013.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary, or public sector is foreseen.
