Details

The Electricity and Gas (Internal Markets) Regulations 2011 introduce new obligations on licence exempt distribution and supply undertakings (irrespective of size) including a duty to facilitate third party access to their electricity and gas networks.

This policy guidance is intended to help network owners, customers and potential third party suppliers assess what steps they need to take in order to ensure compliance with legislation, including circumstances under which third party access may not need to be provided. The document does not constitute legal advice and cannot cover every technical or administrative issue that may be relevant. It is therefore important that interested parties refer to the detailed legal requirements on exempt network operators set out in the legislation and seek legal advice if unsure of their legal position.
