Proposed modifications to the transmission licence and distribution licence of NIE Networks

The Utility Regulator today publishes for consultation Article 14 and Article 17 licence modifications notice seeking to amend both the Transmission and Distribution licences held by Northern Ireland Electricity Networks Limited (NIE Networks).

This consultation paper sets out the Utility Regulator’s (UR’s) proposed changes to the two licences held by NIE Networks. Most of these modifications are made as a result of a final determination (FD) by the Competition Commission (CC) and are therefore made under Article 17 of the Electricity (NI) Order 1992. The main impact of the modifications is to formalise the outcome of the CC’s FD.

This document is likely to be of interest to NIE Networks, electricity customers, other regulated companies in the energy industry, government and other statutory bodies and consumer groups with an interest in the energy industry. 

Copies of all documents can be made available in large print, Braille, audio cassette and a variety of relevant minority languages if required.
