| Description of the Pipeline | Date designation ending |
| The pipeline known as the South North pipeline, which runs for 100 kilometres from the tied in point of intersection with the North West pipeline at Ballyalbanagh above ground installation to the border with the Republic of Ireland at Forkhill in County Armagh. | 31st October 2031 |
These licences are subject to standard conditions. There are also conditions attaching to particular licences. Article 60(1) of the Energy (NI) Order 2003 provides for the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment, after consultation with the Northern Ireland Authority for Energy Regulation, to modify the conditions of particular licences or the standard conditions where it considers it necessary or expedient to do so for the purposes of implementing or facilitating the operation of arrangements designed to secure that prices charged in connection with the conveyance of gas through certain designated pipelines are in accordance with a common tariff which does not distinguish (whether directly or indirectly) between different parts of Northern Ireland or the extent of use of any such pipeline.
This Order designates the pipelines to which this power of modification applies.
Each pipeline is described in the Schedule and the designation has effect from the date of coming into operation of the Order until the date specified opposite the pipeline in the Schedule. However, the Order also specifies certain events on the happening of which, the Order (or so much thereof as designates any particular pipeline) shall cease to have effect. These events are set out in Article 3.
