Made
20th January 2011
Laid before the Scottish Parliament
24th January 2011
Coming into force
1st April 2011
The Scottish Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 19, 21 and 104(2) of the Energy Act 2008 and section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and all other powers enabling them to do so.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Scottish Ministers that it is expedient for references to EU instruments, or provisions of those instruments, in these Regulations to be construed as references to those instruments or provisions as amended from time to time.
2008 c.32. In accordance with section 18(2) the licensing authority is the Scottish Ministers.
1972 c.68. Section 2(2) was amended by the Scotland Act 1998 (c.46) (“the 1998 Act”), Schedule 8, paragraph 15(3); the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 (c.51), section 27(1) and the European Union (Amendment) Act 2008 (c.7), Schedule (1), paragraph 1. The functions conferred upon a Minister of the Crown under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972, insofar as within devolved competence, were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the 1998 Act.
Regulations: power to amend conferred (26.12.2023) by Energy Act 2023 (c. 52), ss. 93(10)(b), 334(3)(b)
