Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order dissolves the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board and the South of Scotland Electricity Board. The property, rights and liabilities of both Boards were transferred to nominated successor companies (see S.I. 1989/2448) on 31st March 1990 under section 67 of the Electricity Act 1989. Section 84 of that Act provides for the Boards to continue in existence after the transfer date and Schedule 17 to the Act provides for certain duties to be carried out as necessary by the Boards. Those duties, so far as necessary and applying to the two Scottish Electricity Boards, have been discharged.
