Decision to approve the (FCA) Generation and Load Data Provision Methodology and request an amendment to the (FCA) Common Grid Model Methodology

Decision

On 13 July 2017, we received two proposals from GB TSOs in accordance with Article 17(1) and Article 18(1) of the guideline on Forward Capacity Allocation (the FCA Regulation): the Generation and Load Data Provision Methodology (GLDPM) and the Common Grid Model Methodology (CGMM).

These methodologies take into account and complement the methodologies of the same name developed under the guideline on capacity calculation and congestion management. The proposals were submitted to us by the relevant GB TSOs in line with our assignment of obligations.

This letter sets out our decision to approve the GLPDM and to request an amendment to the CGMM, pursuant to Article 4(9) and Article 4(11) of the FCA Regulation respectively, and outlines the necessary next steps that must be taken.
