The Electricity Lands and Generators (Rateable Values) (Scotland) Variation Order 2002
This Order varies the Electricity Lands (Rateable Values) (Scotland) Order 2000 and the Electricity Generators (Rateable Values) (Scotland) Order 2000 following upon changes in the electricity industry consequential on the Utilities Act 2000 (c. 27). The variations take account of the fact that during the course of the financial year 2001–2002, Scottish Power UK plc and Scottish and Southern Energy plc were required to transfer their generation, distribution and transmission activities to successor companies. In the case of Scottish Power UK plc the successor companies are Scottish Power Generation Limited, SP Distribution Limited, SP Power Systems Limited and SP Transmission Limited. In the case of Scottish and Southern Energy plc the successor companies are SSE Generation Limited, Scottish Hydro-Electric Power Distribution Limited and Scottish Hydro-Electric Transmission Limited. Articles 18 and 19 make a consequential amendment to the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1975.
