Between 13 and 18 April 2017, Ofgem received seven proposals from GB Transmission System Operators (TSOs) in accordance with Articles 31 and 49 - 52 of the guideline on Forward Capacity Allocation (the FCA Regulation). Those proposals related to the Harmonised Allocation Rules (HAR); two HAR regional annexes for the Ireland-United Kingdom (IU) region and the Channel region; the Single Allocation Platform (SAP) methodology and the SAP cost sharing methodology; and two methodologies on the design of long-term transmission rights (LTTRs) for the IU and Channel regions.
