On 15 July 2016, BritNed Development Limited submitted proposed modified Access Rules for the BritNed interconnector to the Authority for approval (the BritNed Access Rules). The proposed modifications were submitted pursuant to Standard Licence Condition 11A of BritNed’s electricity interconnector licence. 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 and were most recently approved on 15 October 2015.
After careful consideration, we have decided to approve the proposed modified BritNed 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 BritNed Access Rules. It also explains the reasons for our approval as required under section 49A of the Electricity Act 1989.
