About Consultation

This document is a consultation on:

  1. the issues arising out of the 2019 change of control of Leep Networks (Water) Limited, (“LN(W)L”, previously named SSE Water Limited); and
  2. the proposal to transfer sites from Leep Water Networks Limited (“Leep Water Networks”) to LN(W)L.

LN(W)L is a new “NAV” (which stands for ‘new appointment or variation’). NAVs are limited companies which provide a water and/or sewerage service to customers in an area which was previously served by the incumbent monopoly provider.

We are asking for views on our assessment of the change of control, the proposed modifications and area variation to the Instrument of Appointment (“licence”) of LN(W)L, the proposed licence revocation of Leep Water Networks and our assessment of the minimum financial security required by LN(W)L.
