# The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme Order 2020, Paragraph 10: Hospital or small emitter permits: conversion of existing greenhouse gas emissions permit for 2026-2030 allocation period


(1) This paragraph applies where a greenhouse gas emissions permit is in force for an installation that is included in the hospital and small emitter list for 2026-2030.
(2) The regulator must convert the greenhouse gas emissions permit into a hospital or small emitter permit with effect from 1st January 2026 by varying it under paragraph 6 of Schedule 6, so that the provisions of the permit are replaced by provisions that satisfy the requirements of paragraph 11.
(3) When varying a permit under sub-paragraph (2), the regulator may make only such variations as the regulator considers necessary in consequence of the installation’s inclusion in the hospital and small emitter list for 2026-2030.
(4) The conversion of the permit does not affect the obligations of the operator under the greenhouse gas emissions permit in respect of specified emissions before 1st January 2026.
