MINISTERIAL DIRECTIONS UNDER SECTION 5(6)(a) and 5(7) OF THE REGULATORY AUTHORITY ACT 2011
Re: Direction to the Regulatory Authority Regarding BELCo Emissions
On June 21st, I received a letter from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, in which they have notified me of BELCO’s breach of the Clean Air Act 1991, and therefore BELCO’s breach of condition 5.4.8 of their operating license. Due to this breach and in accordance with section 7 of the Regulatory Authority Act 2011 and in exercise of my powers under section 8 of the Electricity Act 2016, I hereby direct the Regulatory Authority to commence appropriate actions as allowed by the Electricity Act 2016, BELCO’s operating license, and any other terms or conditions set in the change of ownership, with immediate effect.
The Hon. Walter H. Roban, JP, MP
Minister of Home Affairs
