The amendments in this group are minor technical amendments which have been identified to provide greater clarity and reduce uncertainty for stakeholders and for affected parties. Amendments Nos. 1 and 3 result in moving the definition of "affiliated person" from section 14 to section 1. There is also additional text provided, which results in a more comprehensive definition and provides greater clarity.

Amendment No. 2 is a clarification that export-only suppliers are a particular case of generators and not all de minimisunits fit within that definition. It also makes the distinction that they are not an intermediary or a trader. These amendments will reduce confusion for stakeholders.
