We have published a section 23 notice of modification to Part G of Special Condition 5G of National Grid Gas Transmission’s (NGGT’s) gas transporter licence. The modification would add three new exit points to its gas transporter licence. We are also proposing correcting “Theddlesthorpe” to “Theddlethorpe” and changing “Kintore” to “Glasgoforest”.

EU Gas Regulation requires us to decide whether any new exit points should be classified as relevant points. For relevant points, National Grid is required to make information about capacity available to the public. We agree with NGGT’s proposal that the new exit points Apache (Sage Black Start) and Trafford Power Station should not be classified as relevant points. Seal Sands TGPP should be classified as a relevant point as it may not be connected to a single final customer.

Further, we agree with NGGT’s proposal that another exit point, Kintore (to be renamed Glasgoforest) should not be classified as a relevant point. This point has already been included in NGGT’s gas transporter licence.
