On 18 December 2018, we received five proposals from the Electricity System Operator (ESO) in accordance with Article 4(2) of Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/21962 establishing a network code on emergency and restoration (NCER) for approval. 

Subsequently, the ESO noted that changes were needed to the rules for suspension and restoration of market activities and the specific rules for imbalance settlement and settlement of balancing energy in case of suspension of market activities. As a result, they resubmitted those proposals, and we will decide on them in a separate decision.

This letter sets out our decision to request for amendments to the ESO's proposals for the T&Cs to act as defence and restoration service providers, for the list of SGUs responsible for implementing on their installations measures from other EU Network codes, and for the list of high priority SGUs.
