Content • Outline of concept • What Does Optimisation Address • Optimisation Issues • Possible options • Process Going Forward
Optimisation - Concept • Maximise use of GB Transmission System • Facilitate Competition • Due regard to potential increased constraint costs • Economic coordinated GB Transmission System • Solution within existing framework

Optimisation Issues • User Consent mismatch with contract • Increase in small generation • GB System Demand lower than Scottish Peak demand • Lack of space ahead of reinforcements • Limited Users withdrawing/reducing • Users uncertain over potential to move forward • 2016 Offers • Optimum method to move users onto different works • NGET Licence Condition C8 “back of queue” uncertainty • Limited market information published • Uncertainty over TEC trading, capacity delaying
Optimisation Options • Restricting Users moving backwards • No limit • Within backstop date • 6 months • Moving Users Forward • Managed based approach (sequential allocation) • Market based approach (willingness to pay) • Limiting changes to amount consented (or applied for) • Removing TEC/Capacity if not meeting milestones • More information published
Optimisation – Going forward • Open Letter – February • Review Code/Framework implications • Discussions with Authority • Responses Seminar – March • Earliest spaces identified - May
