Update 1 November 2017

It has been brought to our attention that the respond email address given in the consultation document contained an error. We have now corrected this error and extend the deadline for responses until 6 November 2017. If you have submitted a response and not received an acknowledgement, we encourage you to resubmit to the respond email address given below. 

We are consulting on proposals relating to the implementation of TAR NC in GB. We are proposing to make National Grid Gas plc (NGG) responsible for certain tasks arising under TAR NC, and to direct a timetable for undertaking them. We think our proposals will minimise duplication of work and ensure legally binding deadlines of the European Commission (EC) can be met. They will also ensure that industry proposals for amendments to the GB gas transmission charging regime are subject to broad industry scrutiny and are TAR NC compliant.

Subject to consultation responses, we propose to modify the gas transporter licence and to issue a direction to NGG. Our proposed direction will specify the tasks we will require NGG to undertake and when they should be undertaken. We seek your views on our proposals.

The deadline for responses to this consultation is 6 November 2017.
