Decision
This notice and our covering letter set out proposed modifications to Standard Condition 30 of the Gas Transporters Licence (SLC 30). This follows our earlier informal consultation. SLC30 only applies to independent gas transporters (IGTs) who operate relatively small networks embedded in the larger networks of the regional gas distribution network operators. However, minor ancillary modifications to other licence conditions that are required by our proposal do apply to other gas transporters and so our proposals are addressed to all holders of a Gas Transporters Licence.
The proposed modifications would remove the requirement for IGTs routinely to submit regulatory accounts to Ofgem, whilst ensuring that new, simplified requirements are fully consistent with relevant European and UK legislation. In particular, the modified SLC30 would ensure that IGT accounts are always accessible to the public and that, where necessary, procedures are carried out to ensure that unbundling requirements relating to gas transporters are respected.
