Modification to Connection and Use of System Code to implement the Generator Commissioning Clause

Decision

On 2 April 2014, we published our decision on how we will implement new legislative provisions within the Energy Act 2013. These provisions ensure that, following full commencement of the offshore transmission regime, generator developers can lawfully commission offshore transmission assets prior to transferring these assets to a licensed Offshore Transmission Owner (OFTO). At that time, we modified the electricity transmission licence to implement changes to oblige the National Electricity Transmission System Operator to issue a completion notice, which states that a transmission system can be made available for use.

This Modification notice presents our modification to the Connection and Use of System Code necessary for the implementation of the Generator Commissioning Clause in the Energy Act 2013.
