Electricity Supply Act 1995

The Minister may, by order in writing, appoint a person or body as the Scheme Administrator.

The functions of the Scheme Administrator under this Part are to be exercised by the person or body appointed by the Minister as Scheme Administrator or, in the absence of such an appointment, the Tribunal.

In determining whether to appoint a person or body as Scheme Administrator, the Minister must consider the following matters—

the costs of any such appointment,

the efficiency of administrative arrangements relating to the energy savings scheme,

ability to meet objectives of the energy savings scheme,

proposed governance arrangements,

arrangements proposed to manage liabilities associated with carrying out the Scheme Administrator’s functions.

The regulations may make provision for or with respect to the appointment of a Scheme Administrator by the Minister.

The Minister may limit the appointment of a person or body as Scheme Administrator to particular specified functions of the Scheme Administrator. In such a case, a reference in this Act to the Scheme Administrator, in relation to any functions of the Scheme Administrator, is a reference to the person or body appointed to exercise those functions (or, in the absence of such an appointment, the Tribunal).
