Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Electricity (Applications for Consent) Regulations 1990 (“the principal Regulations”). The principal Regulations apply in relation to applications for consent under section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 (“the 1989 Act”) to construct, extend, operate or change the manner of operation of a generating station, or under section 37 of the 1989 Act to install or keep installed an electric line above ground.

Regulation 2 amends regulation 11(1) of the principal Regulations by substituting a new table of application fees payable for consent applications in Scotland. This replaces the table of application fees introduced by the Electricity (Applications for Consent) Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2006.

Regulation 3 revokes the provision which inserted the previous tables into the principal Regulations, namely, regulation 2(3) of the Electricity (Applications for Consent) Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2005 and the Electricity (Applications for Consent) Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
