Existing generation and transmission licences

18(1)The Secretary of State may, before the day on which section 30 comes into force, make one or more schemes for securing (subject to sub-paragraph (2)) that, on and after that day, the standard conditions which by virtue of section 33(1) are standard conditions for the purposes of licences of the appropriate type are incorporated in each generation licence and each transmission licence which is in force immediately before that day.

(2)A scheme under this paragraph may provide that the terms and conditions of any existing licence to which it relates (including the standard conditions which would otherwise be incorporated by virtue of sub-paragraph (1)) shall have effect with—

(a)such incidental, consequential and supplementary amendments as appear to the Secretary of State to be necessary or expedient;

(b)such amendments relating to the revocation of the licence as the Secretary of State thinks fit; and

(c)such other amendments (if any) as may be agreed between the Secretary of State and the holder of the licence.

(3)A scheme under this paragraph may—

(a)make such transitional provision as appears to the Secretary of State to be necessary or expedient; and

(b)make different provision for different cases or classes of cases determined by, or in accordance with, the provisions of the scheme.

(4)As soon as practicable after making such a scheme the Secretary of State shall publish, as respects each different case or class of case, the text on the commencement of section 30 of each licence to which the scheme relates as it has effect by virtue of the scheme.

(5)Any text so published shall be treated as authoritative unless the contrary is shown.
