The Scottish Ministers make the following Order in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 32, 32A, 32J and 32K of the Electricity Act 1989(1) and all other powers enabling them to do so.
In accordance with section 32L(1)(2) of that Act the Scottish Ministers have consulted the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority, the National Association of Citizens Advice Bureaux, the Scottish Association of Citizens Advice Bureaux(3), electricity suppliers to whom this Order applies and such generators of electricity from renewable sources and other persons as the Scottish Ministers considered appropriate.
In accordance with section 32L(3) of that Act, a draft of this instrument has been laid before and approved by resolution of the Scottish Parliament.
1989 c.29. Sections 32 and 32A were substituted by section 37 of the Energy Act 2008 (c.32) (“the 2008 Act”). Sections 32J and 32K were inserted by said section 37. Section 32(2) contains a definition of “the relevant minister” relevant to the exercise of these powers.
Section 32L was inserted by section 37 of the 2008 Act and amended by S.I. 2014/631.
Section 32L refers to “the Authority” which is defined in section 111(1) as the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority.
