If the information indicated in the submitted documents is insufficient, incorrect or inaccurate, the Ministry shall inform the applicant of the detected deficiencies and shall determine a time period for elimination of the deficiencies. 5. If the applicant does not provide all the necessary information or documents within the time period specified by the Ministry, the Ministry shall take the decision on refusal to issue a permit. 6. If the total capacity of an electricity production equipment laid down in the decision referred to in Paragraph 3 of this Regulation is one megawatt or more, the applicant shall, within six months after the date of the coming into effect of the abovementioned decision, commence the introduction of the electricity production equipment indicated in the decision or increasing electricity production capacity and inform the Ministry thereof in writing by submitting a certification (Annex 4). The Ministry shall verify the veracity of the information indicated in the submitted documents and it is also entitled to verify whether the introduction of the respective electricity production equipment or increasing electricity production capacity has been commenced. 7. If an applicant fails to fulfil the obligation referred to in Paragraph 6 of this Regulation or the Ministry establishes during verification that the introduction of the electricity production equipment or increasing electricity production capacity has not been commenced or fails to comply with the conditions of the permit, the Ministry shall, within 30 days after the time period referred to in Paragraph 6 of this Regulation, take the decision to cancel the permit and inform the system operator thereof to the system of which it is intended to connect a power plant. 8. The recipient of the permit shall, within 30 days after implementation of the activity permitted in the decision, inform the Ministry thereof in writing by submitting a certification regarding the connection of new electricity production equipment to the electricity system or increasing electricity production capacity (Annex 5) and a copy of the permit issued by the system operator regarding the connection of the power plant to the system or increasing electricity production capacity. 9. If electricity production capacities are introduced or increased in less capacity amount than it is indicated in the permit issued by the Ministry, a new permit of the Ministry shall be obtained for further increasing electricity production capacity. 10. Concurrently with the certification referred to in Paragraph 8 of this Regulation the applicant shall submit to the Ministry the application for the refund of the security sum.
