Final Consultation on proposed changes to conditions in Northern Ireland Electricity Licences

In order to facilitate the introduction of the Single Electricity Market (or SEM) on 1 November 2007, it is necessary to amend Electricity Licences in Northern Ireland to reflect the new trading arrangements. This consultation is on the necessary amendments to licence conditions in various Electricity Licences which allow the Northern Ireland Authority for Utility Regulation (the Utility Regulator) to direct the cancellation of the various cancellable generating unit agreements which were entered into by Northern Ireland Electricity plc (NIE) and generators in Northern Ireland on privatisation.
