Download the full outcome
Detail of outcome
In light of the response to this consultation and subject to the approval of all 4 legislatures, we will proceed with amending the 2020 Order with the 2 proposed SIs:
- The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) Order 2021
- The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) Order 2022
The second SI was previously referred to as Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) (No. 2) Order 2021.
We have included a small number of further scheme improvements, following targeted consultation with affected parties.
We expect both SIs to be in force no later than 31 March 2022.
