Standard Licence Condition 31E (C31E) was introduced in December 2020 and implements Article 32 of the Clean Energy for all Europeans Package (Incentives for the use of flexibility in distribution networks) in GB regulation.
C31E sets out the circumstances in which distribution licensees can procure flexibility, what principles they should apply during the procurement process, and the need to take a coordinated approach with other parties to the procurement and use of flexibility services.
A Reporting Guidance and supporting Data Template were published on 14 February 2022 to promote consistency and thoroughness of C31E reporting across licensees. We are now publishing an updated version of both the Reporting Guidance and supporting Data Template.
The scope of the Guidance covers all reporting requirements under C31E, and the expected contents and format under each of these requirements.
The Supporting Data template is intended to be populated as part of licensees’ Distribution Flexibility Services Procurement and Use Report.
