Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Order)

These Regulations amend the Fossil Fuel Levy (Scotland) Regulations 1996 (“the principal Regulations”) and come into force on 3rd October 2001.

Regulation 3 amends the principal Regulations to take account of the changes in the Electricity market with the commencement of part of the Utilities Act 2000. The definitions of the Director, licensed supplier and public electricity supplier are updated and there is inserted the definition of supply successor company.

There is no substantive change in the calculation of the Fossil Fuel Levy. Amendments are made to the formula in the principal Regulations to bring this into line with the changes made under the Electricity from Non- Fossil Fuel Sources (Scotland) Savings Arrangements Order 2001.
