On 19 March 2021, we received a proposal from the Electricity System Operator (“ESO”) to amend 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, as amended by the Electricity Network Codes and Guidelines (Markets and Trading) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (the “EBGL Regulation”).
This proposal relates to the inclusion of Optional Downward Flexibility Management (“ODFM”) Service Terms, ODFM General Terms and Conditions, and ODFM Guidance Document (collectively referred to as the “ODFM service conditions”) into the T&C.
This letter sets out our decision to confirm that the ODFM service conditions, as mapped by the ESO, form part of the T&C pursuant to Article 18 of the EBGL Regulation.
