Grid Code Modification GC0160 was raised by SSE on 28 September 2022 who requested that it be treated as an Urgent GC Modification Proposal. This change is to amend the Grid Code as a result of the BSC Modification P448 that seeks to Protect Generators subject to Firm Load shedding during a Gas Supply Emergency from excessive Imbalance Charges. On 29 September 2022, the Grid Code Panel recommended to Ofgem that GC0160 should be treated as an Urgent Modification Proposal. We have considered both the Panel’s and the Proposer’s arguments and have decided that GC0160 should progress as urgent.
