1. UNC Mod 273 – Governance of Feasibility Studies
Draft Modification Proposal - Timescales

2. Draft Modification Proposal - Timescales
Principle:
To introduce an obligation to complete “feasibility” studies within a defined timescale.
Issues to discuss:
Best way to incentivise consistent and timely completion of studies;
i.e. “carrot” or “stick”?
- If a [3] month time limit is imposed will it result in all studies being completed “just in time”?
- How can early completion be encouraged?
Governance Review Final Proposals – NTS connection methodology charging to come under UNC?

3. Draft Modification Proposal - Timescales
Issues to discuss continued…
Is it appropriate to have different obligations on NTS compared to DNs for providing essentially the same service?
- Ofgem initial view welcome.
If appropriate, what should be the timescale?
- Are Shippers happy with an informal timetable?
- 3 / 6 / 12 months?
- Is having different timescales for different jobs appropriate / consistent with other UNC / Licence obligations?
- Is Licence funding (or conflicting obligations) a constraint for NTS / DNs?
When should the ‘clock’ begin / end?
