I-SEM: Statutory Consultation on Modifications to SONI MO and TSO Licences

The Utility Regulator today, 20 April 2016, publishes the notice of a consultation on licence modifications  to the SONI Market Operator (MO) and Transmission System Operator (TSO) licences.  The CER will publish a separate consultation on the EirGrid Market Operator (MO) and Transmission System Operator (TSO) licences in parallel.

This is the first of two statutory consultations relating to licence modifications which are necessary for the implementation of I-SEM.  This first consultation focuses on modifications regarding the Capacity Remuneration Mechanism, the Grid Code and Transitionary Arrangements.  The second consultation (due to be published in September 2016) will incorporate modifications which are necessary to Generator, Supplier and Interconnector licences, as well as remaining modifications to the SONI MO and TSO licences which cannot be dealt with until a later date.
