s 41I Procurement of gas by prescribed generation entity
41I.—(1) Unless the Authority otherwise allows, a prescribed generation entity that requires gas for any purpose must obtain the gas only from the holder of a gas importer’s licence (central import) under the Gas Act 2001. (2) Subsection (1) does not apply to any prescribed generation entity in respect of any contract to procure gas that the generation entity entered into before the date of commencement of section 18 of the Energy Transition Measures and Other Amendments Act 2024, or any such contract that is renewed or extended before, on or after that date. (3) However, no term or condition of such contract may be amended or modified except with the prior approval of the Authority. (4) Unless the Authority otherwise allows, a prescribed generation entity must not, in relation to gas obtained by it —(a) from the holder of a gas importer’s licence (central import); or (b) under a contract mentioned in subsection (2), provide the gas to any other person, whether or not that person is a prescribed generation entity. (5) Without affecting section 14, where subsection (1), (3) or (4) is contravened —(a) any contract by which the prescribed generation entity purports to obtain gas from a person that does not hold a gas importer’s licence (central import); (b) any amendment or modification to a contract in contravention of subsection (3); or (c) any contract by which the prescribed generation entity provides the gas mentioned in subsection (4) to any other person, (as the case may be) is void to the extent of the contravention.
