On 14 August 2023, we received a proposal from the Electricity System Operator (“ESO”) to make amendments to the terms and conditions related to balancing (“T&C”) required by Article 18 of Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2195 establishing a guideline on electricity balancing (“EBGL”), as amended by the Electricity Network Codes and Guidelines (Markets and Trading) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.
The ESO's proposal facilitates the launch of their Enduring Auction Capability (“EAC”), a new auction platform for the procurement of Dynamic Containment, Dynamic Regulation and Dynamic Moderation (“Response Services”). This may be expanded to include the procurement of other services in due course.
This letter sets out our decision to confirm that the Response Services Procurement Rules, New Response Services Service Terms, and New Response Services Procurement Rules, as mapped by the ESO, form part of the T&C pursuant to Article 18 of the EBGL Regulation.
