(1)

This article makes provision for the determination of overall amounts for the purposes of determining whether a participant has achieved its—

(a)

total home-heating cost reduction obligation under article 35(1)(a) (see paragraphs (2) to (5)); and

(b)

total low-income minimum requirement under article 35(1)(b) (see paragraphs (6) to (8)).

(2)

Before its final determination under article 35(1)(a), the Administrator must convert the sum of a participant’s scores in accordance with the following steps.

  • Step 1

    Obtain the sum of all the participant’s scores (“A”)

  • Step 2

    Multiply the participant’s total home-heating cost reduction obligation by 0.25 to get an amount (“B”)

  • Step 3

    Subtract B from A to get a further amount (“C”) (where C is a negative number take E at step 5 to be A and go to paragraph (3))

  • Step 4

    Multiply C by 1.716 to get an amount (“D”)

  • Step 5

    Add D to B to get an amount (“E”)

(3)

In step 1 in paragraph (2) “scores” includes any scores for measures transferred to the participant under article 33.

(4)

E must be added to any amount, as converted, which is reassigned by the participant under article 34A to obtain an overall amount (“F”).

  • Step 1

    Obtain the sum of all the participant’s scores for low-income qualifying actions (“G”)

  • Step 2

    Add G to any amount, as converted, which is reassigned by the participant under article 34A to get an amount (“H”)

(7)

In step 1 in paragraph (6) “scores” includes any scores for low-income qualifying actions transferred to the participant under article 33.
