(2)This Order applies only to Wales.

Article 2Interpretation#

In this Order —• “the Act” (“y Ddeddf” ) means the Local Government Finance Act 1988;• “declared net capacity”, (“gallu cynhyrchu net a ddatgenir” ) in relation to generating plant means the highest generation of electricity (at the generator terminals) which can be maintained indefinitely, under the relevant conditions, without causing damage to the plant, less so much of that capacity as is consumed by the plant, expressed in megawatts to the nearest one hundredth part of a megawatt;(For the purposes of this definition for the generating plant whose sole or primary source of energy is the burning of oil or coal, the relevant conditions are that the water entering the cooling system is nineteen degrees Celsius if the cooling water is circulated on the hereditament for re-use in the cooling system, or in all other cases ten degrees Celcius.• For generating plant whose sole or primary source of energy is wind, the wind speed is sufficient to power the generating plant at its highest generation of electricity.• For generating plant whose sole or primary source of energy is water, the water flow is sufficient to power the generating plant at its highest generation of electricity.• For all other types of generating plant the relevant conditions are that, in the locality of the hereditament, the air temperature is ten degrees Celcius and the air pressure is 1013mbar)• “generating plant” (“peiriannau cynhyrchu” ), in relation to a hereditament, means plant in or on the hereditament which is used or available for use for the purposes of generating electricity; and• “year” (“blwyddyn”) means a chargeable financial year.

Article 3Rounding of Numbers#

Where (apart from this article) any rateable value determined under this Order would include a fraction of a pound —

(a)the fraction shall be made up to one pound if it would exceed 50p, and

(b)the fraction shall be ignored if it would be 50p or less.

Article 4Revocations and Savings#

Part II · Electricity generation

Article 5Rateable Value#

(1)Article 6 applies to the class of hereditaments in relation to which the conditions in paragraph (2) are fulfilled.

(2)The conditions mentioned in paragraph (1) are that —

(a)the hereditament comprises land, plant or buildings used or available for use for the purpose of generating electricity where such use is its sole or primary function and

(b)the generating plant either —

(i)uses wind, tidal or water power as its primary source of energy; or

(ii)has a declared net capacity of 500 kilowatts or more.

(3)In determining whether the primary function of a hereditament is for the purpose of generating electricity, no account shall be taken of so much of any heat produced in or on the hereditament as is produced other than for the purposes of the generation of electricity.

Article 6 #

(1)In the case of a hereditament falling within the class prescribed in article 5, paragraphs 2 to 2B of Schedule 6 to the Act shall not apply, and its rateable value, in any year, during which the relevant list has effect, shall be an amount equal to the applicable amount.

(2)The “applicable amount” for the purposes of paragraph (1) is the amount per mega watt of declared net capacity of the generating plant in or on the hereditament (expressed to the nearest hundredth part of a mega watt) set out in column (2) of the following Table in relation to the sole or primary source of energy used by that governing plant set out in column (1):

TABLE
(1)	(2)

i The burning of coal	9,500
ii The burning of oil	5,000
iii The burning of natural gas where a steam turbine is used	9,500
