These Regulations amend the Electricity (Standards of Performance) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/1019).
The definitions of “relevant supplier” and “supply services area” are amended consistent with the removal of condition 3 and Part D from the standard conditions of the electricity supply licence following the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority’s supply licence review.
The Gas and Electricity Markets Authority was established under section 1(1) of the Utilities Act 2000 (c.27).
