Proposed modifications to the distribution licence of NIE Networks

The Utility Regulator today launches a consultation on modifications to NIE Networks’ Distribution licence.  Modifications are required to expressly apply Schedules 3 and 4 to the Electricity (Northern Ireland) Order 1992 (the ‘Order’) to the NIE Networks’ distribution licence as required by Article 13 of the Order entitled ‘Powers of licence holders’.

This consultation proposes draft modifications to Condition 21 of NIE’s Networks’ distribution licence as this condition is currently unused.  The proposed licence modifications will provide more transparency and clarity for licence holders and consumers. 

The Utility Regulator welcomes responses from stakeholders and interested parties on any aspect of the consultation document.
