(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend Article 31A of the Electricity (Northern Ireland) Order 1992 (“the Electricity Order”) to ensure that it conforms with certain requirements of Directive 2009/72/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity and repealing Directive 2003/54/EC (“the Electricity Directive”).
Article 31A of the Electricity Order confers power on the Authority to resolve disputes involving obligations arising out of the Electricity Directive where there is no other provision in the Order for a determination of such disputes.
Regulation 3 amends this provision to bring disputes concerning electricity suppliers who are exempt from the need to operate under a licence within the scope of the Article. It also gives the Authority the power to make a costs order in respect of any determination under Article 31A.
