Our expectations on how Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) should plan for and fund Flexibility Market Asset Registration (FMAR) and Market Facilitator related activities in RIIO-ED2 and RIIO-ED3.
Details
In summary, we expect DNOs to:
- use existing funding for FMAR in RIIO-ED2 if a Digitalisation Re-opener application has not been submitted
- highlight in ED3 business plans where there is uncertainty on Market Facilitator and FMAR related activities and consider submitting digitalisation reopener applications in the relevant window so as not to impact delivery
