Electricity Regulator Publishes Proposals for Payments for Generation Capacity Margin

Following discussion with the electricity industry, it is the opinion of the Director General of Electricity Supply that a generation security standard be re-instated in Northern Ireland due to changing circumstances as a result of potential further electricity market opening. A consultation process will now be undertaken in order to decide how best to progress such a standard.

Copies of the consultation paper are available from:

Orla Mullan, Ofreg, Brookmount Buildings, 42 Fountain Street, Belfast BT1 5EE. Telephone: 02890 311575; Fax: 02890 311740; e-mail orla.mullan@ofregni.gov.uk or via this website.

Copies will be made available in large print, Braille, audio cassette and a variety of relevant minority languages if required.

Comments on issues contained in the paper should be sent to Orla Mullan at Ofreg by Friday 6 September 2002.
