Our annual window for accepting change proposals to the Capacity Market (CM) Rules closed on 17 October 2017. We received 103 proposals, which can now be viewed in detail in our search tool: Capacity Market Rules Change Proposals. We have also provided a brief summary of the proposals below.

Our search tool allows you to filter the proposals by date, organisation, area and reference number. This year's proposals are numbered from CP242 to CP344. If you have any questions or feedback on the search tool then please get in touch.

You can find out about how we manage changes to the Rules and download the change proposal form on our CM Rules change process guidance page.

What happens now?

We are now analysing the proposals we have received and will consult on our proposed decisions and draft Rules changes in Spring 2018. Where we have identified changes should be made in this round, following consultation, those amendments to the Rules will be in force ahead of the 2018 Prequalification round. However, we may decide to delay the implementation of some amendments due to the impacts they would have on Delivery Body and Settlement Body systems.

We are holding a stakeholder workshop on the afternoon of 6 November 2017. Please register by 30 October.

As stated in our guidance, proposals received after this deadline may not be considered until the subsequent consultation round, unless the proposed changes are of significant importance and urgency as to be considered outside of the established procedure.
