Why your views matter
We would like to hear your views on our proposed changes to the standard rule sets for tranche B specified generators. These proposals are to amend the rules to include new medium combustion plant (MCP). We also propose an amendment to standard rule SR2018 No.7 for new MCP and standard rule SR2018 No.9.
We aim to publish the new standard rules set in July 2019.
