A version of a provision is prospective either:where the provision (Part, Chapter or section) has never come into force or;where the text of the provision is subject to change, but no date has yet been appointed by the appropriate person or body for those changes to come into force.Commencement Orders listed in the ‘Changes to Legislation’ box as not yet applied may bring this prospective version into force.Changes to legislation:There are outstanding changes not yet made by the legislation.gov.uk editorial team to Energy Act 2004.

(b)continues in force for such period as may be specified in the declaration or as may be determined in accordance with provision contained in it.
(5)A declaration under this section—
(a)must identify the renewable energy installations, or proposed renewable energy installations, by reference to which it is made;
(b)must specify the date on which it is to come into force, or the means by which that date is to be determined;

(b)is likely to result from their having been carried on.
(2)It shall be the duty both of the Secretary of State and of the Scottish Ministers, in determining—
(a)whether to give a consent for any particular offshore generating activities, and
(b)what conditions to include in such a consent,

(3)In determining for the purposes of this section what interference, obstruction or danger is likely and its extent and nature, the Secretary of State or (as the case may be) the Scottish Ministers must have regard to the likely overall effect (both while being carried on and subsequently) of—
