Chapter 2. Award of certificates



Approval of the facility for the award of certificates



section 1 to be awarded certificates to the holder of a

facility in writing apply to the regulator if

approval of the facility for the award of

electricity certificates. This arrangement applies both to new

facilities at the production referred to in paragraph 8 of the

and alterations referred to in section 9.



If the conditions of this chapter are met,

the regulatory authority may decide to approve the facility for

the award of certificates.



If the authority approves an allocation of

certificates shall at the same time lay down the period within

the certificates may be awarded.



Conditions for approval for the allocation of

electricity certificates



section 2 of A plant to produce renewable electricity and be

taken in



operation in order to qualify for certificates.



paragraph 3 of the electricity certificates may only be assigned for such renewable electricity

whose input quantity and distribution over time has been measured

and reported to kontoföringsmyndigheten.



If the input is from the plant are made into an electricity transmission grid

used without the support of networks, the concession holder of the

the plant responsible for the measurement and reporting.



The holder of an establishment shall, in particular, calculate and

report generation on



1. only a part of the electricity production in the plant

eligible for certificates, or



2. It follows from the rules given under

of section 13 1.

section 6 of the electricity certificates may be awarded for electric power generated with

hydropower in an establishment not covered by section 5 of, if

a decision by the authorities, or the provisions of any other law or

Regulation, places new demands on how the business will be

be conducted or how the facility will be designed and

regulator finds that the new requirements will make it

impossible for the holder to engage in a long-term profitable

production at the facility where the holder is not assigned

electricity certificates.
