the entity has contravened a condition of its authority;
the entity is not, or is no longer, a suitable person to be the holder of an authority of the relevant type;
for a generation entity, transmission entity or distribution entity—the owner of the generating plant, transmission grid or supply network is not, or is no longer, a suitable person to be the owner.
The question whether a person is, or continues to be, a suitable person is decided in the same way as the question whether the person would be a suitable person for the issue of an authority of the relevant type.
