This document provides the results of our engagement with National Grid ESO and European national regulatory authorities to inform the approach to locational targeting for the third interconnector investment round. Targeting interconnector windows by location can help to ensure that future interconnector development aligns with strategic network planning goals in GB and policy goals in potential connecting countries.
We are not restricting applications based on this targeting analysis for the third cap and floor application window or our MPI pilot framework, however connection location and NRA support will be considered through the eligibility criteria and needs case assessment stages of the application process. This additional analysis rather provides important context for developer submissions and an indication of the direction of travel for targeting the assessment of future windows.
Please send any feedback, questions or completed applications to Cap.Floor@ofgem.gov.uk.
