On 15 July 2015, Moyle Interconnector Limited (“MIL”) submitted proposed modified Access Rules for the Moyle interconnector to the Authority for approval (the “Moyle Access Rules”). The proposed modifications were submitted pursuant to Standard Licence Condition 11A of MIL’s electricity interconnector licence. The Moyle Access Rules set out the general terms and conditions a user must accept to obtain and use transmission capacity on the Moyle interconnector and were most recently approved on 25 July 2014.
After careful consideration, we have decided to approve the proposed modified Moyle Access Rules. We consider that the proposed modified Access Rules will better achieve the relevant access rules objectives.
This letter contains a direction to approve the proposed modified Moyle Access Rules. It also explains the reasons for our approval as required under section 49A of the Electricity Act 1989.
MIL also confirms that it has reviewed its Charging Methodology and concluded that no modifications are currently necessary. Ofgem is satisfied with MIL’s conclusion that no amendments are currently required to the Moyle interconnector’s Charging Methodology to enable it to better further the relevant Charging Methodology objectives.
