Northern Ireland Generation and Supply Licences

On the 19th June, the Regulatory Authorities published the following SEM/Directive draft licences/conditions.The licences and conditions that have been published may be subject to change from now until Go-Active for any of the following reasons:

- any further changes that are appropriate to make to the drafting of the licences in light of the recent public consultation processes that have not been concluded on thus far;

-legal drafting changes which it is appropriate to make to the licences that do not materially amend the effect or outcome of the current drafts;

-any further changes which it is necessary to make to the generic licences (either generation or supply) in order to create the individual licencs for each relevant licence holder. The Regulatory Authorities are currently finalizing drafting in relation to the default price control condition which is applicable to the NIE T&D and NIE Energy licences.

At present the Regulatory Authorities are working to produce drafts of the 'modification notices' that will identify the changes directed to each individual licence. This will include incorporating the transitional provisions into the individual licences and also the production of specific generation and supply licences for each generator and supplier. The Regulatory Authorities wiil endeavor to produce these draft licences as soon as is practically possible, and these will be published on this website on the week commencing the 25th June.
