The Electricity (Designation of Delivery Bodies) (Transmission) Regulations 2023

These Regulations designate delivery bodies for the purposes of section 6BB of the Electricity Act 1989 (c. 29) (“the Act”). Section 6C of the Act enables the Authority to make regulations (“tender regulations”) in respect of competitive tenders for relevant electricity projects (which relate to the transmission system). A delivery body will decide whether to hold a tender exercise in relation to such a project, deliver the tender process, determine by whom the project should be carried out, and administer other practicalities relating to the operation and award of the tender.
