Climate Change Agreements (Administration) Regulations 2012


The CCA is a voluntary system in which participants have entered into agreements with the government to reduce energy consumption and emissions in exchange for a reduction in the CCA. 3. Subject to paragraph 5, the administrator shall publish, as soon as reasonably possible after the end of each target period, a report listing the energy efficiency improvements and emission reductions achieved under the agreements for the target period, including: 4.—1. By 1 January 2013, the administrator shall set up and operate an electronic system for the management of agreements (hereinafter referred to as “the register”). Rule 4 requires the administrator to establish an electronic register for the management of climate change agreements and provides that the administrator may establish rules for the operation of the register. 2000 v. 17; Paragraphs 52A to 52F were inserted by paragraph 9 of Schedule 31 to the Finance Act 2012 (c.14), which also amended paragraphs 44, 45, 45B, 47, 48 and 49 of that Schedule. This Regulation appoints the Environment Agency responsible for the management of climate change agreements concluded in accordance with Part IV of Annex 6 to the Finance Act 2000 and establishes procedures for the management of climate change agreements. These rules will come into force on October 1, 2012.

(b) Industry associations may, on behalf of potential operators, request potential operators to conclude underlying agreements. (a)potential interbranch organisations may request the conclusion of framework agreements through the register; and Article 5 provides for the establishment of an account in the registry of a Party to a climate change agreement and the functions of the registry. 1. These regulations can be cited as the Climate Change Agreements (Administration) Regulations, 2012 and will come into force on October 1, 2012. These guidelines are available to the Environment Agency as the administrator of the Climate Change Agreements Regime (the “Administrator”) appointed under section 3 of the Climate Change Agreements (Administration) Regulations, 2012 (as amended by the Climate Change Agreements (Administration) (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations, 2013 (the “Administrative Regulations”) for the purposes of section 52A(1) of Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2000. Rule 10 specifies the controls that the administrator must carry out before entering into a climate protection agreement. It provides that, with respect to both framework agreements and underlying agreements, the administrator must verify that the entities are all the entities listed in Annex 6. It also provides that, with respect to the underlying agreements, the administrator must verify the identity of the other party to the agreement and that the activities carried out by the facility or entities covered by the underlying agreement are all covered by the framework agreement.

If a facility was previously covered by another underlying agreement, the administrator must also verify that the objectives were achieved under the previous underlying agreement and that there were no outstanding penalties or fees under the previous underlying agreement. This legal instrument entered into force on 1 October 2020. Amended the Climate Change Agreements (Jurisdiction) Regulations, 2012 (S.I. 2012-1976) and the Climate Change Agreements (Eligible Facilities) Regulations, 2012 (I.S. 2012-2999). It provides for a two-year extension of the climate change agreement programme, with the new target period extending the climate tax reduction rate until 31 March 2025. (a)before 1 October 2012, an operator has requested the Secretary of State not to publish information about an entity on the grounds that the publication of the information would compromise the security of an entity and that the Secretary of State has decided not to publish that information; Article 20 provides for the right to appeal to the Court of First Instance against a decision of the administrator to terminate an agreement, a decision to impose a fine and against any decision of the administrator under a climate protection agreement. The Finance Act of 2000 stipulates that a climate protection tax may be levied on certain energy suppliers, but a reduced rate may be levied if a place receiving energy supplies is covered by a CCA (Climate Change Agreement) certificate. Article 11 states that the administrator must obtain the consent of the Secretary of State for a climate protection agreement before entering into it and that a framework agreement must contain a sectoral obligation. 19.—1. Where the administrator decides to terminate a framework agreement, he shall notify the interbranch organisation and each operator of a notice of termination concerning an underlying agreement to which the framework agreement relates. Rule 12 sets out the conditions to be included in an underlying agreement with respect to the failure of an objective.

These provisions allow a target unit that has not met its target for a target period to pay an amount calculated on the basis of the difference between its emissions and its target for the target period in order to maintain its reduction on the climate change tax. If the administrator determines that the target unit has not met its target at any time, as of May 1 following the end of a target period and ending immediately before the next certification period, the calculation of the fee shall take into account any excess. If the administrator determines that the target unit did not reach its destination at another time, any excess is not taken into account. Section 19 states that the administrator must give notice of termination if he decides to terminate an agreement and indicates the date on which a termination takes effect. 1971 ca. 80; see Section 1 and Schedule 1 (as amended by Section 1 of the St Andrew`s Day (Scotland) Public Holidays Act 2007 (2007 asp 2)). 10.—1. The administrator may conclude a framework agreement only after taking appropriate measures to ensure that the institutions are entities within the meaning of point 50 of Annex 6. (2) The deduction of excess does not affect the amount of any excess used in the calculation of the fee referred to in Rule 12(2)(c).

(b)£12 per tCO2 of the difference between actual and reported emissions for the target period. 3. The administrator shall ensure that information on an operator is accessible to the interbranch organisation in respect of the framework agreement to which the operator`s underlying agreement relates. 4. A financial penalty under this Regulation may be recovered by the administrator as a civil debt if it is not paid after the expiry of the payment date specified in the notification of the penalty payment. 5. The Administrator may terminate an underlying contract if the Operator does not agree to modify a proposed target under the underlying agreement. “the administrator” has the meaning specified in Rule 3; `account` means the account in the register of an interbranch organisation or operator; Rule 14 sets out the conditions to be included in an underlying agreement on the provision of information.
