Article 20 Transfers

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

A qualifying action achieved by a supplier (“A”) may be regarded as achieved by another supplier (“B”) (“a transfer”) if that transfer is approved by the Administrator.

(2)

A and B must—

(a)

apply for approval in writing to the Administrator by 31st March 2015;

(b)

provide to the Administrator such information, including the number and type of qualifying actions intended to be transferred, as the Administrator may reasonably require; and

(c)

indicate whether B intends the qualifying action to be credited towards B’s—

(i)

total carbon emissions reduction obligation;

(ii)

total carbon saving community obligation; or

(iii)

total home heating cost reduction obligation.

(3)

The Administrator must approve a transfer unless it has reasonable grounds to believe that, if the transfer were approved, A would not be able to achieve its—

(a)

total carbon emissions reduction obligation;

(b)

total carbon saving community obligation; or

(c)

total home heating cost reduction obligation.

(4)

If the Administrator decides not to approve a transfer under paragraph (3) it must notify A and B of the reasons for that decision.

(5)

If a transfer is approved, the qualifying action is treated as achieved by B and not A.
