National Grid Gas Transmission requested derogation from the condition in their gas transporter licence which requires them to submit statements from an Independent Examine alongside capacity methodology statements and capacity release methodology statements. The changes to the five methodology statements are being made to implement elements of the Commission Regulation (EU) No 984/2013 (Capacity Allocation Mechanisms) and continued compliance with Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 715/2009.

This letter explains why we have given consent to National Grid Gas to provide these capacity methodology statements without accompanying statements from an Independent Examiner.
