Regulation 16 Conferral of heat network authorisations
The Regulator may confer a heat network authorisation on an applicant if the application is made in accordance with the Regulator’s regulations.
A heat network authorisation authorises the person on whom it is conferred (“an authorised person”) to carry on one or more regulated activities specified in the authorisation in relation to one or more relevant heat networks specified in the authorisation.
Where an applicant is already an authorised person, the Regulator may confer the heat network authorisation applied for by modifying a heat network authorisation already held by the applicant (“the existing authorisation”).
The Regulator may make such modifications to the existing authorisation as the Regulator considers appropriate in connection with the conferral of the heat network authorisation applied for.
A heat network authorisation must include the applicable general authorisation conditions and may include specific authorisation conditions.
An authorisation condition included in a heat network authorisation has effect or ceases to have effect—
at such times and in such circumstances as may be determined by or under the condition; and
subject to any modification of the condition.
A heat network authorisation conferred under this regulation remains in force except to the extent that it is modified or revoked or otherwise ceases to have effect under this Part.
