Schedule 9: Independent System Operator and Planner: transfers Schedule 18: Heat networks regulation Part 8 – Step-in arrangements
This part sets out the provisions that regulations may include regarding the transfer of responsibility for heat network activity from one authorised entity (‘the old entity’) to another (‘the new entity’). In particular, regulations may provide for the regulator to establish one or more schemes which allow the new entity to carry out the transferred activity in an effective manner. Regulations may also provide for the old entity to provide the regulator with such information and assistance as is required, for the regulator to direct the old entity to take or not take certain steps, for the regulator to make payments to the new entity and to indemnify the new entity from certain liabilities.
