Nemo Link Limited (“NLL”) submitted proposed modified Access Rules (the NLL Access Rules) for the NEMO Link interconnector to Ofgem on 19 February 2019.
The Access Rules set out the terms and conditions for access to, and including use of, the interconnector. The NLL will operate under these new rules in the event that a no deal EU Exit results in the loss of single day-ahead market coupling. Otherwise the current approved Access Rules will remain applicable.
We have decided to approve the NLL Access Rules proposed by NLL on the basis that they better achieve the relevant access rules objectives. This letter contains directions approving the NLL Access Rules. A joint opinion between Ofgem and the Belgian National Regulatory Authority, the Commission de Régulation de l'Electricite et du Gaz, on the NLL Access Rules is included as a separate attachment.
