Paragraph 7A End of ultra-small emitter status: voluntary exit of status for 2027-2030 allocation periodF1
This paragraph applies where the operator of an installation included in the ultra-small emitter list for 2026-2030 notifies the regulator on or before 30th June 2026 as part of the second stage of an application for free allocation in the 2027-2030 allocation period under Article 4(1a)(b)(i) of the Free Allocation Regulation that—
the operator wishes the application to proceed because the operator does not wish the installation to be an ultra-small emitter for the scheme years in the 2027-2030 allocation period; and
the UK ETS authority informs the regulator under Article 15a(4) of that Regulation that the application is valid.
The regulator must, as soon as reasonably practicable, give a notice to the operator stating that—
the installation is not an ultra-small emitter for the 2027 scheme year;
the operator must apply for a greenhouse gas emissions permit and comply with the conditions of the permit from 1st January 2027.
