What is the issue?
As discussed at CMAG 25 and 26 existing Termination reasons (g) / (ga) concerning Transmission Connected CMU Grid Connection Agreement (GCA) and TEC require clarity. For example, (g) does not appear to clarify that the ‘other CMUs’ would need to have an effective Capacity Agreement or transferred part (PTCO-in).
(g) where the Capacity Agreement relates to a Generating CMU or an Interconnector CMU, the Capacity Provider ceases to have a Grid Connection Agreement that secures Transmission Entry Capacity for each relevant Delivery Year at least equal to the De-rated Capacity [DRC] of the Capacity Committed CMU and any other CMUs to which the Grid Connection Agreement applies, except as a result of a failure by a Transmission Licensee to provide a connection point when required to do so in accordance with a valid Grid Connection Agreement.
What is the proposed solution?
As discussed at CMAG 27.
| Adding ‘Capacity Committed’ to ‘any other CMU’. It will therefore become ‘any other Capacity Committed CMUs’.
For example, (g) where the Capacity Agreement relates to a Generating CMU or an Interconnector CMU, the Capacity Provider ceases to have a Grid Connection Agreement that secures Transmission Entry Capacity for each relevant Delivery Year at least equal to the De-rated Capacity [DRC] of the Capacity Committed CMU and any other Capacity Committed CMUs to which the Grid Connection Agreement applies, except as a result of a failure by a Transmission Licensee to provide a connection point when required to do so in accordance with a valid Grid Connection Agreement. |
