Electricity Generation Licence
In December 2018, ScottishPower sold ScottishPower Generation to Drax, resulting in a change to its portfolio of generation assets.
ScottishPower considers that, as a consequence, the Electricity Generation Licences held by companies within its corporate group should no longer be subject to Special Condition AA: Liquidity in the Wholesale Market, and have written to us to request this change.
This letter sets out the background to ScottishPower’s request and explains our reasons for consenting to it. To give effect to the changes, pursuant to the Special Condition, we have published a Direction to the relevant Electricity Generation Licensees alongside this letter.
