24.—(1) The Authority may require a designated electricity supplier to provide it with such information in such form and within such time as it may reasonably require which is, in the Authority’s opinion, relevant to the question whether the supplier is discharging, or has discharged, his renewables obligation in relation to any obligation period.

(2) The Authority may request any person who generates, supplies or transmits electricity in relation to which a NIROC has been or may be issued, or any person who buys or sells such electricity or NIROCs (otherwise than as a consumer) to provide the Authority with such information in such form and within such time as it may reasonably request in order to carry out any of its functions under this Order.
