  15. The UK ETS Authority is seeking views on four amendments to existing civil penalties within the scheme, to ensure civil penalty values are comparable to penalties of a similar nature and are proportionate to the type of breach. The first amendment will enable regulators to apply a consistent punitive element across the 3 penalties within the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme Order 2020 (the Order), which relate to the breach of operating without a penalty. These three penalties are Articles 50, 57 and 60 of the Order. On 6th October 2023, Directions came into force for Articles 50 and 60 of the Order. Included within both was a consistent approach to the punitive element regulators may impose as part of those civil penalties, which we are proposing to introduce for Article 57. The second amendment will enable Regulators to apply a more proportionate approach for penalties related to under-reporting discovered after submission of an annual emissions report within the Order. The proposal will amend the penalty given to hospitals and small emitters in Article 56, to a more proportionate calculation when compared with penalties given to main UK ETS participants under Article 52 (4) of the Order. The third amendment will ensure that the inflation factor included within penalties given under Article 52, Article 53 and the proposed penalty in Article 56 of the Order will be correctly applied and that the appropriate and most fair rate of inflation is used in its calculation. The final amendment will amend Article 53 of the Order, so that when the deficit notice penalty is introduced under-surrender penalties will align whether the under-surrender is discovered before or after a permit transfer. If you have any feedback, please respond at emissions.trading@energysecurity.gov.uk by 08/03/2024.
