EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order revokes the Class D Exemption (Relevant exempt self suppliers) contained in Schedule 2 to the Electricity (Class Exemptions from the Requirement for a Licence) Order (Northern Ireland) 1999.

The Class D exemption enables a consumer, whose electricity demand exceeds one megawatt and who meets other prescribed criteria, to enter into an agreement whereby he can take direct provision of an electricity supply to premises he occupies, without having to hold a licence under Article 10(1)(c) or (2) of the Electricity (Northern Ireland) Order 1992.
