Article 26 Installations: requirement for permit to carry out regulated activity

No person may carry out a regulated activity at an installation in a scheme year unless the operator of the installation holds a greenhouse gas emissions permit or a hospital or small emitter permit for the installation that authorises the regulated activity to be carried out.

Paragraph (1) does not apply to a regulated activity carried out at an installation in a scheme year for which the installation is an ultra-small emitter.

Schedule 6 (which provides for applications for greenhouse gas emissions permits and generally for permits) has effect.

Schedule 7 (which provides for hospitals and small emitters) has effect.

Schedule 8 (which provides for ultra-small emitters) has effect.
