Schedule 9: Independent System Operator and Planner: transfers Schedule 14: Minor and consequential amendments: Part 6 Energy Act 2004
The GEMA is responsible for deciding whether to approve major changes to the energy codes. Paragraphs 9 to 11 make two amendments to the Energy Act 2004 related to how appeals of these decisions are handled. First, it extends the timeline of relevant appeals from one month to four months to bring it in line with appeals of other Ofgem decisions, such as licence modifications. Second, it adds decisions made by the GEMA in connection with the direct modification of designated documents power granted by sections 192 of the Energy Act 2023 to the list of decisions that can be appealed to the CMA.
