Derogation from <strong>GB</strong>SQSS – requests from licensees<br />

• Transmission licensees are obliged to comply with <strong>GB</strong>SQSS, unless the<br />

Authority directs otherwise<br />

• Where a licensee assesses that it is not in a position to comply, or<br />

compliance may result in an inefficient outcome either in short or longer<br />

term, it may submit a request to Ofgem for a derogation<br />

• Requests from licensees for derogation should include:<br />

– a clear description of the non-compliance and requested duration of derogation<br />

– a comprehensive, and where possible, quantitative assessment of the impacts of<br />

the non-compliance. For example for the interim measures for transmission<br />

access, this should include impacts on:<br />

• difference in generation profile<br />

• carbon emission<br />

• volume and costs of transmission constraints<br />

• other parties, such as operational restrictions on other generators<br />

• health and safety<br />

– proposal for restoring compliance (if appropriate)<br />

– a description of the reasonable alternative actions that have been considered<br />
