UNC730V was raised as a potential mitigation for Shippers to help offset some of the effects of COVID-19 lockdowns. It sought to apply a discount of 50% to Local Distribution Zone (LDZ) Capacity Costs for sites that are set as Isolated (utilising a process introduced by UNC Modification 0723). The remaining 50% payment would have been seen as a Capacity retention payment guaranteeing the continued availability of full capacity at that site.
