Liquidity: statutory consultation on the ‘Secure and Promote’ licence condition Power Trading Forum Martin Bell 12/12/13
Reminder – structure of our liquidity proposals
Current stage – statutory consultation • On 20 November, we published a statutory consultation on the proposed licence condition. This is a legal requirement before making changes to licences • This stage focuses on the licence drafting. We would like to obtain feedback on the licence text. In particular, we want to check that it reflects our policy design • The full set of documents we published were: • Responses to the statutory consultation, and any feedback on the Impact Assessment and Guidance should be submitted by 18 December
Market making design (1) • Our design for the market making obligation remains broadly as set out in June • However, following responses to the last consultation, we have updated our policy design to improve its effectiveness Approach to market maker availability • Trading windows have a number of advantages – these include: Requirement in June consultation Requirement in November statutory consultation
Market making design (2) • Knock-on changes to availability rules • As a result of moving to trading windows, some of the other availability rules also needed to be redesigned • These rules are intended to provide protection for Secure and Promote licensees against specific risks, while still ensuring that the design delivers regular availability
