Electricity Industry Act 2010

75: Ownership separation

You could also call this:

“Electricity companies can now be owned together with other companies”

The law about ownership separation in the electricity industry has been removed. This means it no longer applies. The government got rid of this rule on 1 September 2022. They did this by changing the Electricity Industry Act 2010. You don’t need to worry about this rule anymore because it’s not part of the law now.
