Recommendations
Recommendations (the sheriff's words)In my view, this Inquiry has drawn attention to a state of matters affecting the supply of electrical power across the country which does require to be examined more closely.
In view of the variety of social and economic conflicting interests involved it may be that there will require to be a multi- agency nationally based systematic enquiry and analysis with a view to establishing the reasonably practicable and safe means of informing system controllers of the existence of a non-transient condition and to arriving at an agreed set of rational criteria to be applied before a line which has been locked out is re-energised.
Under section 28 of the 2016 Act, each recipient of a recommendation must respond within 8 weeks. The 8-week window is counted from the publication date. See how we track responses.
