Details
In the government response to the consultation on Capacity Market Supplementary Design proposals and Transitional Arrangements that was published in January, we committed to providing further details on the de-rating methodology for interconnectors in mid-February (in advance of the formal Capacity Market Rules). We outlined that DECC was considering a “hybrid” de-rating approach for interconnectors which would utilise both historical and forecasting methodologies. This methodology will enable a minimum de-rating factor to be derived from historical evidence, subject to there not being any publically reported concerns about the security of supply outlook in the connected market for the relevant Delivery Year.
