Consultation description
We want to know what you think about plans to update laws in England and Wales to change the energy efficiency formula (R1). This formula is used by energy from waste plants to obtain ‘recovery’ (R1) status.
The formula has been changed in EU directive 2015/1127 to take into consideration the disadvantage that warmer climates have in obtaining R1 status.
