Decommissioning Plan
The decommissioning provisions in the Energy Act 2004 require that a person who constructs and operates a renewable energy installation should be responsible for ensuring that the installation is decommissioned at the end of its useful life, and should be responsible for meeting the costs of decommissioning.
