  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Electricity (Applications for Licences and Extensions and Restrictions of Licences) Regulations 2001 (“the principal Regulations”) which set out the information and other documents that are required to be submitted with applications for electricity generation, transmission, distribution and supply licences (and for extensions or restrictions of supply and distribution licences) under the Electricity Act 1989. These regulations amend the form and manner of such applications, the manner in which the applications are to be published as well as the fees for such applications.\nRegulation 2, which replaces Regulation 8 of the principal Regulations, concerns the notice period and the publication requirements for applications. Paragraph 1 increases the notice period to 10 working days. Paragraph 2 introduces a requirement for that notice of application to be published on the website of the Authority or via a link from the website of the Authority to the website of the applicant, on that of the applicant. Applications for extensions must be published in local newspapers.\nRegulation 3 requires applicants to give, with certain exceptions, particulars of any criminal convictions.\nRegulation 5 reduces the additional information and documents which must accompany applications.\nRegulation 6 fixes a new level of fees for applications.",
