(2) “Hydro generating stations” means generating stations which are driven by any form of water power other than–

(a)tidal or wave power; or

(b)power from water which has been elevated or whose pressure has been increased, except where this has been done, directly or indirectly, by power derived from a relevant non-fossil fuel generating station other than a generating station which is itself the subject either of a premium price arrangement or of relevant arrangements.
