DEFRA and the Welsh Government consulting onto R1 energy efficiency formula.

DEFRA and the Welsh Government are consulting on plans to adjust the energy efficiency formula used by energy from waste plants seeking recovery (R1) status. Consultation closes 29th January. Changes are being made to UK legislation to implement new EU Directive 2015/1127 which introduces an amendment to the R1 energy efficiency formula in Annex II of the EU Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC)[1] (“the Waste Directive”). The consultation outlines these changes in detail, when these changes will take effect and seeks views on whether stakeholders agree with the way we intend to make these changes. https://consult.defra.gov.uk/waste/energy-from-waste-r1-formula
