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.\nRegulation 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.\nA 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.",
