Other Network Operator?
Please state which network operator you have your connection
agreement with:
(i)
What is the capacity (kW) of the connection?
(ii)
Does the station export electricity via a separate site network which may
be in the same ownership as the station, but which serves other site loads
that are independent of the generating station?
9. Provide and attach a schematic diagram or simple line drawing of the
proposed generating station. This must include the following:
(i) All generating equipment and associated auxiliary loads

Name of generating station:
13. Is the generating station located outside the UK?
If “Yes” is it connected either directly, or indirectly via the distribution system,
to the national transmission system in the UK?
If “Yes” how will the electricity represent electricity consumed in the UK?
14. Is the generating station subject to a NFFO contract?
If “Yes” give the NFFO contract number
15a. Is the energy content of the fossil fuel used for one or more of the
following purposes:
(i) the ignition of gases of low or variable calorific value;
(ii) the heating of the combustion system to its normal operating temperature
or the maintenance of that temperature;
(iii) emission control;
(iv) in any year no more than 10% of the energy content of the renewable
sources used?
If “Yes” this fossil fuel use can be disregarded for the purposes of the Climate
Change Levy exemption for renewable.
15b. Is fossil fuel used for any other purpose? (Yes/No)
If “Yes” give details of the energy content of all fuels used and complete the
following table.

17. All applicants must sign the following declaration:
.CONSUMPTION DECLARATION
I declare that I am duly authorised to sign this form for and on behalf of the
Company, and on behalf of the Company I confirm that:
A
all electricity notified to the Utility Regulator for the purpose of issuing
Renewables LECs as have being generated by the Generating Station
during the Specified Period represents electricity consumed or to be
consumed in the UK; and
B
for any electricity so notified, the Company is able to provide the Utility
Regulator at any time, Including for the avoidance of doubt and without
limitation during an audit conducted by the Utility Regulator with the
evidence specified in Consumption Declaration & Associated Evidential
Guidelines from time to time as being required in order for the Utility
Regulator to be satisfied that the electricity represents electricity
consumed or to be consumed in the UK; and
C
any electricity so notified has not been allocated by the Company for
consumption outside the UK.
On behalf of the company I acknowledge a Renewables LEC will not be issued if
the Utility Regulator is at any time not satisfied that the electricity with respect to
which the Renewables LEC is to be issued represents electricity consumed or to
be consumed in the United Kingdom.
On behalf of the company I acknowledge that I am aware that Part VIII of Schedule
6 to the Finance Act 2000 establishes criminal and civil penalties for evasion,
misdeclaration and neglect in relation to the levy and in particular paragraph 93(2)
of that Schedule establishes criminal offences in relation to recklessly or
knowingly making materially false statements in information provided in relation
to the levy.
