These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 8(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16). They amend the Electricity (Guarantees of Origin of Electricity Produced from Renewable Energy Sources) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/2562) and the Electricity (Guarantees of Origin of Electricity Produced from Renewable Energy Sources) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003 (S.R. 2003 No. 470) (together, the “GOO Regulations”) to address failures of the GOO Regulations to operate effectively and other deficiencies (in particular under section 8(2)(a), (b) and (c) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018) arising from the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union.
