We are  making changes to the special conditions of National Grid Gas Transmission’s (NGGT's) gas transporter licence to allow the introduction of Planning and Advanced Reservation of Capacity Agreements (PARCAs).

The licence modifications will take effect from 31 January 2015.

We issued a statutory consultation and covering letter about our proposed modifications to NGGT’s licence on 27 October 2014. These documents explained our reasons for proposing changes to NGGT’s licence and sought views from stakeholders. The deadline for representations on the proposed modifications set out in the statutory consultation was 24 November 2014.

The full detail and rationale for these policies can be found in our consultation paper, ‘Consultation on changes needed to implement new arrangements for incremental gas transmission capacity (PARCAs)’.
