Subject: RE: Aberthaw infraction: additional information on ΓΝΡ and Article 33 plants Thank you for the prompt reply. From your clarification I take the following: 90 plants remain in the UK's ĪNP Result of this are the following ceilings i calculated based on the attached table) 2020 (1 Jan 2016 2017 2018 2019 30 Jun) S02 116003 95669 75336 55002 27501 NOx 85318 85656 85994 86332 43166 dust 13076 10500 7924 5348 2674 In addition I would like to clarify emissions allocated for dust for the plants: 1.

E.On UK Pic, Winnington CHP boilers t Seems that the Commission Decision of 17.Il2.2015 on the transitional national plan communicated by UK in accordance with Artide 32(5) of Directive 2010/75/EU, OJ C 425, 18.12 2015,, p. 19, that can be find at the CmCABC website , https://circabc.europa.eu/w/browse/bb2609eb-d9ef-4e9G-b918-9247c lf43598 indicates that dust emissions are covered. From the table communicated to us by e-mail of 4 April 2018 that provides the revised transitional national plan that reflects situation as of October 2016 I arrived to the same conclusion (and blue highlighted in the attached table) Seems that dust emissions are covered but there is a little contribution rounded to zero (so it has no impact to the dust ceilings as calculated in the table above) Can you please reconsider again if the UKfs TNP covers dust in case of the above mentioned plants that we can indicate ft correctly in the revised Annex to the TNP Decision.

I hope the following response addresses your outstanding queries, but please do contact myself or^^^should you have any further questions. We have confirmed with our competent authorities the current list of plants in the UK's Transitional National Plan and can confirm that the published register for 2018 is the most up-to date list of plants in the TNP. We have addressed the queries Ian raised in his email of 28/05 In the attached document. There were 5 site closures in 2016, and therefore from the original 95 sites included in the 2016 TNP Document, 90 plants remain in the UK's TNP. With regards to providing updates on any future changes to the TNP to the Commission, we are able to inform you of any changes when our TNP Register is reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis. Please can you advise on the process for providing these updates?

When sending this file through we confirmed that any subsequent operational changes to lite plants, such as plant closures and changes to the site operators, will be reported to the Commission through the annual reporting submission on l arge Combustion Plants and that these changes are also captured within the UK's TNP register We can certainly- provide further information, but please can 1 clarify exactly what is required so we can tailor this appropriately?

Subject: RE: Aberthaw infraction: additional information on TNP and Article 33 plants Thank you for having confirmed the emission totals for the UK Transitional National Plan (TNP) dated October 2016. In October 2016 the TNP for the UK includes 95 plants and on this basis we have started drafting the revised TNP Decision for the UK. However, in your email below (of April 25th) you also refer to the UK’s TNP Register published on the DE FRA website. We have checked this and according to it the following changes were made to the UK's TNP after October 2010 (the first set of changes in 2017 and a second set in 2018).
