Abstract

These Regulations amend the Carbon Capture Readiness (Electricity Generating Stations) Regulations 2013 as a result of the devolution, by the Wales Act 2017, of energy consenting functions in relation to electricity generating stations in Wales which have or will have a capacity not exceeding 350 megawatts (Welsh Ministers’ new functions under Schedule 6 to the Planning Act 2008). A new Regulation 6A requires before granting of a planning permission that the Welsh Ministers or local planning authority (as applicable) determine whether certain conditions are met relating to the feasibility of carbon capture and storage. If the conditions are met, the planning permission must include conditions for suitable space to be set aside for equipment necessary to capture and compress all the carbon dioxide that would otherwise be emitted from the plant.
