Part 6: Governance of Gas and Electricity Industry Codes Section 194: Directions relating to designated central systems
Section 194 gives the GEMA the power to issue directions to the bodies that are responsible for operating, or procuring the operation of, the critical IT systems that underpin the energy system. This power is primarily intended to allow the GEMA to ensure that these bodies do what they are required to do by the codes. In addition, it will also allow the GEMA to issue directions that are reasonably necessary for the efficient operation of the code, such as a direction to help a code manager develop a specific code change proposal.
