Part 6: Governance of Gas and Electricity Industry Codes Section 186: Licence under Electricity Act 1989 for performance of code management function
Section 186 grants the GEMA the power to licence one or more code managers, each of which will be responsible for making arrangements for the governance of their respective code(s). These licences will be held under the same framework as other licences that the GEMA is able to grant under the Electricity Act 1989. Any licences for dual-fuel codes will be granted simultaneously under both Acts.
	This section also establishes ‘code management’ as a prohibited activity, making it illegal to perform that activity without an appropriate licence.
