Electricity Supply Industry Requirements
If the project is a Round Two proposal, it will require BERR consents and
licensing. Under the generation licence (which is required for generating plant
over 100MW) there will be a requirement to become party to a number of core
industry agreements. The developer will need to meet the following consents
and licensing requirements:
●
A generation licence (via Ofgem and granted by Secretary of State).
