This Order amends the Electricity and Gas (Carbon Emissions Reduction) Order 2008 (S.I. 2008/188) (“CERT Order”), as amended by the Electricity and Gas (Carbon Emissions Reduction) (Amendment) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/1904) and the Electricity and Gas (Carbon Emissions Reduction) (Amendment) Order 2010 (S.I. 2010/1958). This Order also amends the Electricity and Gas (Community Energy Saving Programme) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/1905) (“CESP Order”). The CERT Order places an obligation on electricity and gas suppliers who have 50,000 or more domestic customers to achieve a carbon emissions reduction obligation. The CESP Order places a similar obligation on electricity and gas suppliers to achieve a carbon emissions reduction obligation. The CESP Order also places an obligation on electricity generators who have generated 10 TWh/yr or more of electricity in previous years (generation periods) to achieve a carbon emissions reduction obligation. Both the CERT Order and the CESP Order is administered and enforced by the Office for Gas and Electricity Markets (“the Authority”).
