ADE - Capacity Market Rules CP 245

Change Proposal

Publication date

This proposal seeks to facilitate Secondary Trading by removing the requirement that a Capacity Obligation transferred is at least equal to the Minimum Capacity Threshold (Rule 9.2.4 (a) (ii)). The Minimum Capacity Threshold is currently defined in Regulation 15 (4) of The Electricity Capacity Regulations 2014 as "the connection capacity of the CMU is equal to or greater than 2MW".

It seeks to replace this with a Rule requiring that a Capacity Obligation transferred is at least equal to a minimum trading threshold of 500kW.

Avoiding unnecessary DSR Tests of unaffected components, plus correcting drafting errors in the rules around New (Joint) DSR Tests.
