Summary

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

This second consultation sets out the Utility Regulator’s (UR’s) proposed changes to the two licences held by NIE Networks. The modifications are made as a result of responses received to the September 2015 consultation and also Competition and Markets Authority (previously Competition Commission) comments on the same. The main impact of the modifications is to formalise the outcome of the Competition Commission’s FD.
