Decision on proposed modified BritNed interconnector Access Rules
Decision
On 8 October 2013, BritNed Development Limited (BritNed) submitted proposed modified access rules for the BritNed interconnector to the Authority for approval. The BritNed access rules set out the general terms and conditions a user must accept to obtain and use transmission capacity on the BritNed interconnector.
After careful consideration, we have decided not to approve the proposed modified access rules. This is because we have not received sufficient timely evidence to consider how they would better achieve the relevant access rules objectives.
This letter contains a direction not to approve the proposed modified access rules. It also explains the reasons for our decision under section 49A of the Electricity Act 1989.
