On 13 October 2022, Nemo Link Limited (NLL) submitted modified Access Rules for the Nemo Link interconnector to the Authority for approval. The Access Rules set out the terms and conditions for access to, and including use of, the interconnector

The relevant Direction approving the modified Access Rules can be found in Annex 1 of this letter.
The approved modifications to the Access Rules relate to:
- Compensation for curtailment
- Enabling the return of long-term transmission rights in months with planned maintenance periods
- Clarifying the treatment of allocated rights in the event of suspension of the JAO participation agreement
- Earlier opening of long-term nomination gate
- Housekeeping changes in light of the revised Harmonised Allocation Rules
The approved Access Rules will be published on NLL’s website for a period of 28 days prior to their coming into effect.
