Consultation

We’re seeking feedback on an omnibus consultation paper with three discrete proposals to amend the Electricity Industry Participation Code 2010 (Code) to:

  • introduce a tie-breaker enhancement to improve handling of identically priced generator offers in constrained areas
  • amend the application of the materially large contract rules
  • refine the hedge disclosure obligations to increase transparency.

We have also included a list of technical and non-controversial Code drafting fixes.
