Approval of the proposal for the Implementation Framework for the exchange of balancing energy from Replacement Reserves

Decision

On 18 June 2018, we received a proposal for the Implementation Framework for the exchange of balancing energy from Replacement Reserves in accordance with Article 19 of the guideline on electricity balancing (the EBGL). The proposal was developed by all Transmission System Operators (TSOs) performing the Reserve Replacement process and was submitted to us by the relevant TSOs in Great Britain in line with our assignment of obligations. 

This letter sets out our decision, in line with the all Regulatory Authority agreement reached by the relevant Regulatory Authorities, to approve the Replacement Reserves Implementation Framework, pursuant to Article 5(3)(a) of the EBGL Regulation. The letter further outlines the necessary next steps.
