On 27 February 2015 we published our decision on how we will designate Nominated Electricity Market Operators (NEMOs) in GB and our application of the designation criteria.This is in line with the European Commission Regulation to establish a Guideline on Capacity Allocation and Congestion Management (the CACM regulation).
We invited candidates to submit applications no later than 30 March 2015 to be designated through an initial designation process. We subsequently received applications from APX Commodities Limited (APX) and Nord Pool Spot AS (NPS) to be designated NEMOs in GB for day ahead and intraday coupling.
This letter sets out and consults on our draft decisions for both of these applications. It also sets out and consults on the meaning and terms of any successful designation, including draft designation notices provided in the appendices, and next steps for the wider regulatory framework for NEMOs in GB.
Consultation Responses
We received one consultation response, from APX, marked confidential.
