(2)Those means are—
(a)the rescue as a going concern of the company subject to the energy administration order; and
(b)transfers falling within subsection (3).
(3)A transfer falls within this subsection if it is a transfer as a going concern—

(b)the rescue of that company as a going concern will not achieve that objective or will not do so without such transfers;
(c)such transfers would produce a result for the company’s creditors as a whole that is better than the result that would be produced without them; or
(d)such transfers would, without prejudicing the interests of those creditors as a whole, produce a result for the company’s members as a whole that is better than the result that would be produced without them.

(a)that those functions are and continue to be carried out in an efficient and effective manner; and
(b)that it becomes unnecessary, by one or both of the means mentioned in subsection (2), for the energy administration order to remain in force for that purpose.

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
