I-SEM CRM 3 Supplemental Consultation Paper – Locational Issues
The Regulatory Authorities today, 24nd August 2016, publish a CRM 3 Supplemental Consultation Paper regarding proposed locational issues and the impact on specific elements of the CRM auction design.
This paper represents a supplemental consultation following on from the CRM 3 Decision Paper (SEM-16-039). It addresses issues raised by respondents to the CRM consultations to date which are related to the location of capacity resources. The SEM Committee recognise that particular emphasis is needed to support the transition to the new CRM given there is a possibility that some plant required for localised capacity adequacy reasons might not clear in the CRM auction. This consultation paper proposes a framework, within the CRM, designed at ensuring there is sufficient generation adequacy in areas that are considered capacity-constrained.
Responses to the consultation paper should be sent to Karen Shiels (Karen.Shiels@uregni.gov.uk) and Thomas Quinn (tquinn@cer.ie) by 17:00 on Thursday 22 September 2016.
