2H Circumstances relating to additional capacity used by small solar pv stations accredited on or before the small solar pv closure date

(1) The circumstances set out in this article are where the electricity is generated by a small solar pv station which was accredited on or before the small solar pv closure date and generated using— (a) additional capacity which in the Authority’s view first formed part of the station from a date no later than the small solar pv closure date, or (b) pre-2017 additional capacity in respect of which the documents specified in paragraph (2) have been submitted by the operator of the station to the Authority. (2) The documents specified in this paragraph are— (a) evidence of an agreement with a network operator (“the relevant network operator”) to carry out grid works in relation to the station (“the relevant grid works”); (b) a copy of a document written by, or on behalf of, the relevant network operator which estimated or set a date for completion of the relevant grid works (“the planned grid works completion date”) which was no later than 31st March 2016; (c) a letter or email written by, or on behalf of, the relevant network operator confirming (whether or not such confirmation is subject to any conditions or other terms) that— (i) the relevant grid works were completed after the planned grid works completion date, and (ii) in the relevant network operator’s opinion, the failure to complete the relevant grid works on or before the planned grid works completion date was not due to any breach by a developer of the station of any agreement with the relevant network operator; and (d) a declaration by the operator of the station that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, the pre-2017 additional capacity would have formed part of the station on or before 31st March 2016 if the relevant grid works had been completed on or before the planned grid works completion date.

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
