AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation extends the period during which certain Energy Prices Act powers can be used in Northern Ireland from 26 months to 6 years. The change keeps those powers available for much longer in cases linked to Northern Ireland’s executive offices being in place. For businesses, public bodies, energy suppliers, and consumers in Northern Ireland, the practical effect is continuity. It does not create a new scheme or new direct obligations, and the government says it expects no significant impact on the private, voluntary, or public sector.
