Notice under section 6A(5) of the Electricity Act 1989 of the grant of an electricity distribution licence

The Gas and Electricity Markets Authority (“the Authority”) hereby gives notice pursuant to section 6A(5) of the Electricity Act 1989 (“the Act”) that on 5 July 2024 an electricity distribution licence was granted under section 6(1)(c) of the Act to Green Generation Energy Networks Cymru Limited (company number 13060815) whose registered office is situated at Hodge House, Guildhall Place, Cardiff, CF10 1DY, United Kingdom (“the Licence”) authorising it to distribute electricity in the area specified in Schedule 1 (attached) for the purpose of giving a supply to any premises.

Under section 8A(2) of the Act, the Authority has modified the standard conditions of the Licence. The modifications (as proposed) are set out in the Notice under section 8A(3) of the Act which we published at:

Green Generation Energy Networks Cymru Limited – Notice of Statutory Consultation | Ofgem

The reason why the Authority made the licence modifications is to protect the interests of consumers by:

  1. ensuring that the standard licence conditions applicable to Distribution Services Providers are disapplied in relation to Electricity Distributors to whom the requirements of Section B of the standard conditions do not apply;
  2. regulating Green Generation Energy Networks Cymru Limited’s charges in respect of domestic customers for the use of its distribution system on grant of the Licence; and
  3. imposing requirements on Green Generation Energy Networks Cymru Limited in respect of its creditworthiness and indebtedness on grant of the Licence.

This document is notice of the reasons for the Authority’s decision for the purposes of section 49A(2) of the Act.

We received a large number of representations to the consultation and it has been our priority to review their content carefully. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide detailed responses to individuals.

A copy of this licence is available from Ofgem’s Electronic Public Register or by email at licensing@ofgem.gov.uk.
