On 12 December 2022, we received a proposal from the Electricity System Operator (ESO) to make amendments to the national terms and conditions related to balancing (T&C) required by Article 18 of Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2195 establishing a guideline on electricity balancing (the EBGL Regulation). This proposal relates to an update to the T&C to consolidate the separate terms and conditions applicable to each of the dynamic Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR) products — Dynamic Containment (DC), Dynamic Moderation (DM), and Dynamic Regulation (DR) — and to make some updates to those consolidated terms and conditions.

These services will be procured by the ESO based on a single set of Service Terms, and Procurement Rules. This letter sets out our decision to approve that the consolidation of the provisions, with proposed amendments, form part of the T&C required by Article 18 of EBGL, replacing the previous documents that formed part of the T&C for each service independently from 1 April 2023.
