Abstract These Regulations concern emission limits as defined in Chapter 8 of Part 2 of the Energy Act 2013. That Chapter imposes a duty (emissions limit duty) on operators of fossil fuel plant granted planning consent on or after 18th February 2014, to ensure that its annual emissions of carbon dioxide attributable to fossil fuels do not exceed an amount ("the emissions limit”) determined according to a formula set out in section 57(2) of the Act. The Regulations, among other things: define the application of emission limits; provide for modification of the emissions limit where particular conditions apply during a year; exempt from the emissions limit certain duty generating units; set out which emissions are relevant in determining whether a fossil fuel plant has breached the emissions limit duty.
