Section 43

The Board may issue or approve and from time to time review codes of practice and other standards of performance in connection with the generation, production, transmission or supply of electricity or gas or the provision of utilities support services.

If any provision in any code of practice or other standard of performance issued or approved by the Board is inconsistent with the regulations, such provision shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, either have effect subject to such regulations or, where appropriate, having regard to such regulations, shall not have effect.

The Board may in any public licence exempt any public licensee from any provision in any code of practice or other standard of performance issued or approved by the Board generally or for such time as the Board may specify.
