Modifications

Modifications - Offer and Connection Agreement Change Process

In the event that a customer with an existing Connection Offer or Connection Agreement wishes to submit a modification request, that includes changes to information provided in the original application form, the customer must submit a formal request to the relevant System Operator (SO) in line with the defined modification process. Customers should note that there are fees associated with such modification requests.  

The System Operators (S0's) have set out, in the document below, a revised process for progressing modification requests to connection agreements, and an associated fee structure. These changes have been made with a view to streamlining the process in anticipation of a large number of modifications which may be requested by Gate 3 applicants (and in some cases pre-Gate 3 and non-Gate).

This issue has been presented to the industry via the Gate 3 Liaison Group. As a result of the industry feedback the SO’s have agreed to engage with the industry, this engagement process may result in changes in the fee structure. Such changes will be published as required.

However, in order to avoid any delays in processing modifications it was agreed at the Liaison Group that modifications requested would be progressed based on the current structure, with the ultimate fee being amended up or down should the levels and associated fees change.
