This consultation outlines proposed policy for the implementation of the Generator Commissioning Clause and the proposed code and licence modifications that will give it effect.
We are seeking to implement new legislative provisions within the current Energy Bill to ensure that, following full commencement of the offshore transmission regime, generator developers can lawfully commission offshore transmission assets prior to transferring these assets to a licensed Offshore Transmission Owner (OFTO). This consultation sets out our proposals for the implementation of the new Generator Commissioning Clause following the coming into force of the Energy Bill currently before Parliament.
In this document we outline proposals for the point in the commissioning process when a completion notice would be issued for Generator build projects, along with how the new arrangements would be implemented through proposed industry code and licence modifications. We also consider the practical application of the proposed new arrangements, in particular how they might apply to projects that at the time the new arrangements come into force, have passed the point at which a completion notice would ordinarily be issued, but have not yet transferred to an OFTO.
