Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

15 Generating stations
(1) The construction or extension of a generating station is within section 14(1)(a) only if the generating station is or (when constructed or extended) is expected to be within subsection (2) , (2A) , (3), (3A) or (3B).
(2) A generating station is within this subsection if—
(a) it is in England ...,
(aa) it generates electricity from wind or directly from sunlight,
(b) it is not an offshore generating station, and
(c) its capacity is more than 100 megawatts.
(2A) A generating station is within this subsection if—
(a) it is in England,
(b) it does not generate electricity from wind or directly from sunlight,
(c) it is not an offshore generating station, and
(d) its capacity is more than 50 megawatts.
(3) A generating station is within this subsection if—
(a) it is an offshore generating station, and
(b) its capacity is more than 100 megawatts.
(3A) A generating station is within this subsection if—
(a) it is in Wales,
(b) it does not generate electricity from wind, and
(c) its capacity is more than 350 megawatts.
(3B) A generating station is within this subsection if—
(a) it is in waters adjacent to Wales up to the seaward limits of the territorial sea, or in the Welsh zone, and
(b) its capacity is more than 350 megawatts.
(3C) To the extent that an exempt electricity storage facility forms part of a generating station (or is expected to do so, when the generating station is constructed or extended), any capacity provided by the facility is to be disregarded for the purposes of determining whether the generating station is within subsection (2), (2A), (3), (3A) or (3B).
(3D) The construction or extension of a generating station is not within section 14(1)(a) to the extent that the generating station comprises or (when constructed or extended) is expected to comprise an exempt electricity storage facility.
(4) An “offshore” generating station is a generating station that is—
(a) in waters in or adjacent to England ... up to the seaward limits of the territorial sea, or
(b) in a Renewable Energy Zone, except the Welsh zone or any part of a Renewable Energy Zone in relation to which the Scottish Ministers have functions.
(5) "Welsh zone” has the meaning given in section 158 of the Government of Wales Act 2006.
(6) In this section—
“electricity storage facility” means a facility which generates electricity from energy that—
was converted from electricity by that facility, and
is stored within that facility for the purpose of its future reconversion into electricity;
“exempt electricity storage facility” means an electricity storage facility which is not a pumped hydroelectric storage facility;
“pumped hydroelectric storage facility” means an electricity storage facility that stores the gravitational potential energy of water that has been pumped to a higher level so that its return to a lower level can be used to generate electricity.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
Sign in to file your proposal. What you have written stays on this page.
Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
