8 Circumstances relating to certain generating stations that have been allocated a place within the dedicated biomass cap

(1) The circumstances set out in this article are where the electricity is generated— (a) using the original capacity of a generating station— (i) which is not a relevant fossil fuel station, (ii) which was accredited on or before 30th September 2018, (iii) which has, in at least one month since it was accredited, generated electricity only from biomass, and (iv) in respect of which the documents specified in paragraph (3) were received by the Authority on or before the date on which the Authority made its decision to accredit the station, and (b) in a month in which the station generates electricity wholly or partly from solid fuel which is— (i) regular biomass, or (ii) energy crops. (2) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(a)(iii), in determining whether electricity has been generated only from biomass, no account is to be taken of any fossil fuel or waste which the generating station uses for permitted ancillary purposes. (3) The documents specified in this paragraph are— (a) a copy of a letter from the Secretary of State, where the letter— (i) is dated no later than 31st March 2017, and (ii) states that the generating station has been allocated a place under the dedicated biomass cap; and (b) where the generating station has not been certified under CHPQA 3, CHPQA 5 or CHPQA 6 at any time before it was commissioned, a declaration by the operator of the station that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, the station’s place under the dedicated biomass cap has not lapsed or been revoked or withdrawn by the Secretary of State. (4) In paragraph (3), “dedicated biomass cap” refers to the Government’s policy for a 400 megawatt cap on the total amount of new build generating capacity that receives support for the generation of electricity only from biomass.

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.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
