EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.)

This S.I. extends the number of projects in the AER/REFIT programme which supports the construction of new renewable energy powered electricity generating plants. The Order permits the CER to include additional costs arising from the selected REFIT projects in its calculations of the PSO levy and to authorise payments from the levy to participants.
