Abstract

Comprises guidance about varying consents which have been granted under section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 for the construction or extension, and operation, of electricity generating stations granted by the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change (or his predecessors) or the Marine Management Organisation (MMO). Explains how to lodge an application for variation under the Electricity Generating Stations (Applications for Variation of Consent) Regulations 2013 (SI 2013/1570). By applying to vary a section 36 consent it may be possible to obtain authorisation for a generating station to be constructed, extended and/or operated in a way that would not be consistent with the existing consent. Applies to England and Wales only.
