On 14 March 2019, we requested amendments in order to meet the obligation to develop proposals listed in Article 118 and 119 of the SOGL Regulation.  On 14 May 2019, the ESO submitted to Ofgem a mapping of the obligations already covered by the Grid Code and the National Electricity Transmission System Security and Quality of Supply Standards (NETS SQSS) and announced that it would also submit an amended intermediate methodology containing the other obligations. The latter was submitted on 6 June 2019 and we therefore consider the 6 June 2019 to be the date by which we received the ESO’s complete submission.

This decision acknowledges that the obligations mapped to the Grid Code and NETS SQSS cover most of the requirements of Articles 118 and 119 of the SOGL Regulation and approves the intermediate methodology, which covers the remaining requirements of Articles 118 and 119 of the SOGL Regulation. This letter furthermore outlines the necessary next steps that must be taken.
