    414.These sections enable the Secretary of State to modify the conditions of gas and electricity licences. It outlines that such modifications can provide for circumstances where there is a shortfall in the property of a protected energy company, which is or has been in energy administration, for meeting the costs of energy administration. In particular, the Secretary of State can require that in such circumstances the protected energy company or its successor raises a levy on other protected energy companies and uses the sums raised to discharge debts incurred during energy administration. These will include sums paid by the Secretary of State under sections 165, 166 and 167.
