Electricity Industry Act 2010

Separation of distribution from certain generation - Separation of distribution from certain generation - Corporate separation and arm's-length rules

76: Corporate separation and arm's-length rules applying to distributors and connected generators and connected retailers

You could also call this:

“Rules about separating electricity companies have been removed”

This part of the law used to talk about rules for companies that distribute electricity and their connections with companies that make or sell electricity. However, these rules no longer apply. They were removed from the law on 1 September 2022. This means that the rules about keeping these types of companies separate and making sure they deal with each other fairly are no longer in effect.
