(1) The principal objective of the Secretary of State and the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority (in this Act referred to as “the Authority”) in carrying out their respective functions under this Part is to protect the interests of [F5 existing and future] consumers in relation to electricity conveyed by distribution systems [F6 or transmission systems] F7 ... .
[F8 (1A) Those interests of existing and future consumers are their interests taken as a whole, including—
(a) their interests in the reduction of electricity-supply emissions of targeted greenhouse gases; and
(b) their interests in the security of the supply of electricity to them.
(1B) The Secretary of State and the Authority shall carry out their respective functions under this Part in the manner which the Secretary of State or the Authority (as the case may be) considers is best calculated to further the principal objective, wherever appropriate by promoting effective competition between persons engaged in, or in commercial activities connected with, the generation, transmission, distribution or supply of electricity or the provision or use of electricity interconnectors.
(1C) Before deciding to carry out functions under this Part in a particular manner with a view to promoting competition as mentioned in subsection (1B) , the Secretary of State or the Authority shall consider—
(a) to what extent the interests referred to in subsection (1) of consumers would be protected by that manner of carrying out those functions; and
(b) whether there is any other manner (whether or not it would promote competition as mentioned in subsection (1B) ) in which the Secretary of State or the Authority (as the case may be) could carry out those functions which would better protect those interests.]

(5) Subject to [F16 subsections (1B) and] (2) , the Secretary of State and the Authority shall carry out their respective functions under this Part in the manner which he or it considers is best calculated—
(a) to promote efficiency and economy on the part of persons authorised by licences or exemptions to [F17 distribute, supply or participate in the transmission of] electricity [F18 or to participate in the operation of electricity interconnectors] and the efficient use of electricity conveyed by distribution systems [F19 or transmission systems] ;
F20 (ba). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
[F21 and F22 ... shall] , in carrying out those functions, have regard to the effect on the environment of activities connected with the generation, transmission, distribution or supply of electricity.
[F23 (5A) In carrying out their respective functions under this Part in accordance with the preceding provisions of this section the Secretary of State and the Authority must each have regard to—
[F24 (5B) In subsection (1A) — “emissions” has the same meaning as in the Climate Change Act 2008 (see section 97 of that Act) ; “electricity-supply emissions” in relation to emissions of a targeted greenhouse gas, means any such emissions (wherever their source) that are wholly or partly attributable to, or to commercial activities connected with, the generation, transmission, distribution or supply of electricity or the provision or use of electricity interconnectors; “targeted greenhouse gases” has the same meaning as in Part 1 of the Climate Change Act 2008 (see section 24 of that Act).]
(6) In [F25 subsections [F26 (1C) ,] (3) and (4) references to consumers include] both existing and future consumers.
