The Utilities Act 2000 (c.27) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that deals with the gas and electrical markets in the UK. It mainly modified the Gas Act 1986, the Gas Act 1995 and Electricity Act 1989. One of the greatest changes was that integrated electricity companies were required to have separate licenses for each of their businesses such as supply or distribution. The act was originally supposed to deal with water and telecoms also but following industry pressure they were dropped.
