Where the operator of an installation included in the hospital and small emitter list for 2021-2025 wishes that the installation should not be a hospital or small emitter for the 2024 and 2025 scheme years, the operator may request the regulator to give a notice (a “conversion notice”) to the operator of the installation.

If the regulator receives a request on or before 31st March 2023, the regulator must, as soon as reasonably practicable, give a conversion notice to the operator of the installation.

The regulator must refuse a request received after 31st March 2023.
