The Gas and Electricity Markets Authority (‘the Authority’) hereby gives notice pursuant to Section 8AA(9) of the Gas Act 1986 (as amended) (‘the Act’) as follows:
1. British Gas X Limited, (company registration number 10860745), the registered office of which is Millstream, Maidenhead Road, Windsor, Berkshire, United Kingdom, SL4 5GD, has written to the Authority seeking its consent under Section 8AA of the Act to the transfer of the Gas Shipper licence granted to British Gas X Limited pursuant to section 7A(2) of the Act to British Gas Limited, (company registration number 08811254), the registered office of which is at Millstream, Maidenhead Road, Windsor, Berkshire, United Kingdom, SL4 5GD.
2. The Authority proposes to grant consent to the proposed licence transfer which, subject to our consent, is currently proposed to take place on 9 September 2023, for the following reasons:
(i) British Gas X Limited has applied to the Authority under Section 8AA of the Act for the Authority’s consent to the transfer of its gas shipper licence to British Gas Limited; and
(ii) The Authority is satisfied that it would have been appropriate to grant a Gas Shipper licence to British Gas Limited had British Gas Limited applied to the Authority for such a licence and as such considers that it is appropriate to consent to a transfer of an existing Gas Shipper licence to British Gas Limited.
3. Any representations or objections in relation to the proposal by the Authority to grant consent to the proposed licence transfer should be made in writing no later than 15 August 2023 to the Authority, either by post to: the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority at 10 S Colonnade, Canary Wharf London, E14 4PU marked for the attention of Industry Codes and Licensing or by email to: licensing@ofgem.gov.uk
