EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations modify the standard conditions in electricity and gas supply licences in Great Britain. The purpose of the modifications is to require electricity and gas suppliers to provide information to domestic customers comparing their gas or electricity use in one period with the same period in the previous year. These modified conditions will apply from 1st January 2009.
The modifications give effect to Article 13(3)(b) of Directive 2006/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on energy end-use efficiency and energy services and repealing Council Directive 93/76/EEC(1).
A copy of the full impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available from the Energy Markets Unit, Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, 1 Victoria Street, London, SW1H 0ET. The full impact assessment is also annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside the instrument on the OPSI website.
The licences modified by these Regulations may be inspected on the public register of the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets at http://epr.ofgem.gov.uk/.
