Notice of correcting a clerical error in the Northern Ireland Electricity Price Redetermination

Published 22.04.14

Following publication of the Northern Ireland Electricity Price Determination – Final Determination on 15 April 2014, we are today publishing an amendment to it, to correct for a clerical error which has since come to our attention.

  • Paragraph 13.149 which at the end of the last sentence referred to an ERP of ‘5 to 6 per cent’ should correctly read ‘4 to 5 per cent’.

Final determination

Published 15.04.14

On 26 March the CC submitted its final determination (including appendices) in the Northern Ireland Electricity Ltd (NIE) price control inquiry to the Northern Ireland Authority for Utility Regulation (UR) in accordance with Article 16(4) of the Electricity (Northern Ireland) Order 1992 (the Order). Pursuant to Article 16(5) of the Order, the UR shall send the CC’s report to the licence holder (NIE) and the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment Northern Ireland (DETI), and then publish the report, after allowing DETI no less than 14 days to make any necessary redactions.
