Electricity Industry Act 2010

Electricity industry governance - Who does what - Security and Reliability Council, and other advisory groups

21: Other advisory groups

You could also call this:

“The Authority must create groups of experts to help make rules for electricity”

The law says that the Authority must set up one or more groups to give them advice. These groups will help the Authority make rules and improve how the electricity market works.

The Authority needs to choose people for these groups who know a lot about electricity and understand what customers need. These people don’t have to be independent, which means they can work for electricity companies or other related businesses.
