Decision
This statutory consultation sets out the proposed changes to certain licence conditions, including standard licence conditions (SLCs), to properly reflect the changes being brought about by Retail Code Consolidation in the licences. This will ensure, for example, that the licences correctly reference the REC and are aligned to the terminology within the REC when code consolidation is due to take effect on 1 September 2021.
This is a statutory consultation in accordance with the Gas Act 1986 and Electricity Act 1989, concerning our proposals to modify the following licences:
- Smart Meter Communications Licence
- Standard conditions of Electricity Supply Licence
- Standard conditions of Gas Supply Licence
- Standard conditions of Gas Transporter Licence
- Standard Special Conditions parts A, B and D of the Gas Transporter Licence
- Standard conditions of Electricity Distribution Licence
The subsidiary documents set out the proposed changes against the up to date version of the consolidated licence conditions available on our website at the time of publishing, the definitive sources for which (not including the changes proposed in this consultation) are available on the Electronic Public Register. The full texts in the appendices highlight the changes that we are proposing to make in redline version, with explanatory comments which can be cross referenced to the appended spreadsheet, which aims to support understanding of the proposed changes.
We would like views from holders of these licences. We would also welcome responses from any other interested stakeholders and the public, although areas of this consultation are technical in nature and might require a degree of specialist knowledge around the detail of energy licence conditions and retail codes framework in order to fully engage.
