Schedule 9: Independent System Operator and Planner: transfers Schedule 12: Governance of gas and electricity industry codes: transitional provision Transfer schemes
The transition to the new code governance framework may require staff, physical IT assets and service contracts to be moved from one organisation to another. In some cases, the transfer of the relevant item might be agreed between the various parties, such as the outgoing code administrator and the incoming code manager, but a negotiated outcome cannot be guaranteed. This section therefore grants the GEMA the power to create transfer schemes for the purposes of implementing code reform, which will allow it to ensure that the newly created code managers will have all the things that they need to do their jobs. It also describes the processes that the GEMA will need to follow when using this power, including a requirement to obtain approval for each scheme from the Secretary of State.
