Energy Act 2013 Explanatory Notes

Section 16: Sections 12 to 15: further provision

117.Section 16 confers a power enabling the Secretary of State to, when making provision under the powers in sections 12 to 15, make further provision enabling calculations and determinations to be made by such persons and in accordance with such procedure as is specified.

118.For example, in relation to section 12, section 16 enables the CFD counterparty to make determinations or calculations about what information should be included in the notification provided by the System Operator. In relation to section 14, section 16 enables the CFD counterparty to determine precisely how the information in the notification should be applied to the contract, and whether a generator’s response to an offer is acceptable. Finally section 16 may also be used in relation to section 15 to enable the CFD counterparty to determine whether a generator has provided sufficient information and evidence that a modification is both minor and necessary.
