On 3 February 2023, National Grid IFA2 Limited (NGIFA2) submitted the modified Access Rules and modified Charging Methodology for the IFA2 interconnector to the Authority for approval.

The Access rules set out the terms and conditions for access to, and including use of, the interconnector. The Charging Methodology sets out the methodologies for the calculation of charges imposed for access to and use of the licensee’s interconnector.

We have decided to approve the modified Access Rules and modified Charging Methodology on the basis that we are satisfied that the below proposed modifications to Access Rules and Charing Methodology better achieve the relevant objectives as required under NGIFA2’s Electricity Interconnector Licence.

The relevant directions approving the modified Access Rules and modified Charging Methodology can be found in Annex 1 and Annex 2 of this letter.

The approved Access Rules and Charging Methodology will be published on NGIFA2’s website for a period of 28 days before coming into effect.
