Electricity Act 1989 (1989 c 29)

The Electricity Act 1989 established the framework for the privatisation of the electricity supply industry in the UK, transforming the way electricity was generated, transmitted, and distributed. It introduced competition into the electricity market, breaking the monopoly previously held by nationalised entities. The Act also created regulatory bodies, including the Electricity Supply Board and the Director General of Electricity Supply, to oversee fair trading practices, licencing, and consumer protection. Additionally, it laid the groundwork for the UK's efforts to meet environmental standards and support renewable energy sources.
