• (2) The Secretary of State is deemed to have complied with the relevant national emission reduction commitment in the year in which the exceedance occurs if the following conditions are met—

• (a) there was an exceptionally cold winter or an exceptionally dry summer in the year that the exceedance occurs;

• (b) the average of the total anthropogenic emissions of the relevant pollutant occurring within the United Kingdom for that year, the preceding year and the following year is lower than or equal to the national emission reduction commitment which would otherwise apply to those years.

• (3) The Secretary of State is deemed to have complied with the relevant national emission reduction commitment for a maximum of five years, including the year in which the exceedance occurs, if the following conditions are met—

• (aa) lead to disproportionate costs,

• (bb) substantially jeopardise national energy security, or

• (cc) pose a substantial risk of energy poverty to a significant part of the population.
