Paragraph 2 Conversion of a greenhouse gas emissions permitF1

United Kingdom

(1)

Where a greenhouse gas emissions permit has been granted in respect of an installation that is an F2Article 27 installation, the regulator must vary the greenhouse gas emissions permit (with effect from a date to be included in the permit) so that the provisions of the permit are replaced by provisions that satisfy the requirements of paragraph 3.

(2)

When a permit is varied under sub-paragraph (1)—

(a)

the regulator may make only such variations as appear to the regulator to be necessary in consequence of the installation being an F3Article 27 installation; but

(b)

that is without prejudice to the duty to vary the permit in accordance with regulation F488(2) or (4).

(3)

A variation of a permit under this paragraph does not affect any obligations of the operator under the permit in respect of emissions arising prior to 1st January F52021.
