1
For an agreement to which, immediately before the starting date, the RTPA does not apply by virtue of a section 100 order, there is a transitional period—
a
beginning on the starting date; and
b
ending at the end of the relevant period.
2
For an agreement which is made at any time after the starting date and to which, had the RTPA not been repealed, that Act would not at the time at which the agreement is made have applied by virtue of a section 100 order, there is a transitional period—
a
beginning on the date on which the agreement is made; and
b
ending at the end of the relevant period.
3
For an agreement (whether made before or after the starting date) which, during the relevant period, is varied at any time in such a way that it becomes an agreement which, had the RTPA not been repealed, would at that time have been one to which that Act did not apply by virtue of a section 100 order, there is a transitional period—
a
beginning on the date on which the variation is made; and
b
ending at the end of the relevant period.
4
If an agreement for which there is a transitional period as a result of sub-paragraph (1), (2) or (3) is varied during the relevant period, the transitional period for the agreement continues if, had the RTPA not been repealed, the agreement would have continued to be one to which that Act did not apply by virtue of a section 100 order.
5
But if an agreement for which there is a transitional period as a result of sub-paragraph (1), (2) or (3) ceases to be one to which, had it not been repealed, the RTPA would not have applied by virtue of a section 100 order, the transitional period ends on the date on which the agreement so ceases.
6
Sub-paragraph (3) is subject to paragraph 20.
7
In this paragraph and paragraph 29—
“section 100 order” means an order made under section 100 of the M1Electricity Act 1989; and
expressions which are also used in Part I of the Electricity Act 1989 have the same meaning as in that Part.
