On 27 January 2021, an amended version of the Tripartite Agreement between Premier Transmission Limited (‘PTL’), GNI (UK) Limited (‘GNI (UK)’), and National Grid Gas plc (‘NGG’) (‘the PTL TRI’) was submitted to the Authority for approval in accordance with Standard Licence Condition (SLC) 3 of the Gas Interconnector Licence. On 20 April 2021, amended versions of the Interconnection Agreement (‘the IA’) between GNI (UK) and NGG and the Tripartite Agreement between Gas Networks Ireland Limited (‘GNI’), GNI (UK), and NGG (‘the GNI TRI’) were submitted to Ofgem, also in accordance with SLC 3. The GNI TRI, constitutes GNI (UK)’s and GNI’s Access Rules, which is why it was also submitted to Ofgem by GNI and GNI (UK) under SLC 11A.
Our decision is to approve the amendments to the IA, GNI TRI and PTL TRI on the basis that they have been agreed by all parties and that there will be tangible benefits in line with Ofgem’s core principles.
We are also approving GNI (UK)’s and GNI’s access rules on the basis that they meet the relevant Access Rules objectives.
