Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which come into force on 13th March 2006, amend the Electricity (Applications for Consent) Regulations 1990 (“the principal Regulations”). The principal Regulations apply in relation to applications for consent under section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 (“the 1989 Act”) to construct, extend, operate or change the manner of operation of a generating station, or under section 37 of the 1989 Act to install or keep installed an electric line above ground.
Regulation 2 amends regulation 11(1) of the principal Regulations by substituting a new table of application fees payable for consent applications in Scotland. This replaces the table of application fees introduced by the Electricity (Applications for Consent) Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (S.S.I. 2005/295).
Except as set out in the following table, the fees in the Electricity (Applications for Consent) Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2005 and the fees in the table substituted by these Regulations are identical. The fees amended as a result of these Regulations are as follows:–
| Subject matter | Previous fee under the principal Regulations as amended | Amended fee |
|---|---|---|
| Construction or construction and operation of a generating station with a capacity not exceeding 10 megawatts | £15,000.00 | £5,000.00 |
| Extension or extension and operation of a generating station resulting in increase in megawatt capacity not exceeding 10 megawatts | £15,000.00 | £5,000.00 |
