ElecLink Limited (ElecLink) submitted modified Access Rules and modified Charging Methodology for the ElecLink interconnector to the Authority on 20 September 2019. The Access Rules set out the terms and conditions for access to, and including use of, the interconnector. The Charging Methodology sets out the methodologies for the calculation of charges imposed for access to and use of the licensee’s interconnector.

ElecLink will operate under these new rules only in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal. The Access Rules and Charging Methodology would enter into force 28 days after notification by ElecLink.

We have decided to approve the modified Access Rules and modified Charging Methodology proposed by ElecLink on the basis that they achieve the relevant Access Rules and Charging Methodology objectives. This letter contains Directions approving the modified Access Rules and modified Charging Methodology.
