Project Transmit identified defects in the current transmission charging methodology. This triggered an industry led process which developed several options for change. In August 2013 we published a consultation and analysis of the impacts of these options, including our initial minded-to position.
We received new information from the consultation process that had not been presented before. This led to our decision in December 2013 to do more work to thoroughly examine this evidence. This consultation provides an update on our position to take account of the responses to our last consultation and subsequent analysis that we have undertaken. It seeks views on this analysis.
We remain minded to approve the option known as ‘WACM 2’, subject to responses to this consultation. If we were to approve, we are minded to implement in April 2016.
Details of how to respond to the consultation can be found in Appendix 1. The consultation closes on 27th May 2014.
