Energy Act 2023

Modification of qualifying documents and relevant licences

5 (1) Sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) apply where at any time the GEMA modifies the conditions of licences of any type under paragraph 4.

(2) If the conditions modified are standard conditions, the GEMA must—

(a) also make (as nearly as may be) the same modifications of those conditions for the purposes of their incorporation in licences of that type granted after that time, and

(b) publish the modifications in such manner as it considers appropriate for the purpose of bringing them to the attention of persons likely to be affected by the making of the modifications.

(3) The GEMA may make such incidental or consequential modifications of any conditions of licences of any type as it considers necessary or expedient.

(4) The modification of part of a standard condition of a particular licence under paragraph 4 does not prevent any other part of the condition from continuing to be regarded as a standard condition for the purposes of Part 1 of the Electricity Act 1989 (in the case of a licence under section 6(1) of that Act) or Part 1 of the Gas Act 1986 (in the case of a licence under section 7, 7ZA, 7A or 7AB of that Act).
