(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order, which extends to Great Britain, amends the Feed-in Tariffs Order 2012 (“the 2012 Order”).

The Order inserts article 17A (withdrawal of preliminary accreditation for certain hydro generating stations) into the 2012 Order to place an obligation on the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority (“the Authority”) to withdraw a granted preliminary accreditation in certain circumstances. Those circumstances are where the Authority has received a request from a particular category of prospective Feed-in Tariff hydro generator who made an application for preliminary accreditation in the period from 1st December 2012 to 31st December 2012.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
