The Climate Change Act 2008 (2050 Target Amendment) Order 2019

Article 2 of this Order amends section 1 of the Climate Change Act 2008 (c. 27) by altering the percentage amount in subsection (1). Section 1(1) imposes a duty on the Secretary of State as to the level of the “net UK carbon account” (the amount of net UK emissions of targeted greenhouse gases for a period adjusted by the amount of carbon units credited or debited to the account) for the year 2050. The duty is to ensure that the net UK carbon account is lower than the “1990 baseline” (the baseline of net UK emissions of targeted greenhouse gases against which the percentage amount in subsection 1(1) is applied) by a minimum percentage amount.

The Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme and Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme (Amendment) Regulations 2019

This instrument amends the Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme Regulations 2014 (“the 2014 Regulations”) and the Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme Regulations 2018 (“the 2018 Regulations”). The 2014 Regulations established the domestic renewable heat incentive scheme, under which owners of plants which generate heat from specified renewable sources in domestic properties may receive payments at prescribed rates (“tariffs”). The 2018 Regulations revoked and replaced the Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme Regulations 2011, which established the non-domestic renewable heat incentive scheme, under which owners of non-domestic plants which generate heat from specified renewable sources, and producers of biomethane for injection, receive payments for heat used for eligible purposes.
