On 17 January 2025, National Energy System Operator (the ‘Proposer’) raised Connection and Use of System Code (CUSC) Modification Proposal CMP447: Removal of designated strategic works from cancellation charges/securitisation (the ‘Proposal’). On 3 June 2025, the Proposer requested that the Proposal be treated as urgent based on Ofgem’s Urgency criteria. The CUSC Panel (the ‘Panel’) met on 9 June 2025 to consider CMP447 and the request for urgency. On the same day, the Panel wrote to inform us of its unanimous view that CMP447 should proceed as an Urgent CUSC Modification Proposal.
We have considered both the Panel’s and the Proposer’s arguments in relation to urgency and have decided that CMP447 should be progressed on an urgent basis.
