Capacity Market Rules
The Capacity Market (Amendment) Rules 2015 set out the rules for electricity interconnectors to participate in the Capacity Market; detailed requirements for metering; and make a number of minor and technical amendments to the 2014 Rules.
The three sets of amendments should be read in conjunction with the original Capacity Market Rules 2014. An informal consolidated version of the rules is also published for ease of reference. Please note that this consolidation is for information only and should not be relied upon as a definitive statement of the Capacity Market Rules.
The rules provide the detail for implementing the operating framework set out in regulations. This means that the rules focus on the technical and administrative rules and procedures for how the Capacity Market operates and includes matters such as procedures relating to the day-to-day running of the Capacity Market, the process by which capacity providers pre-qualify, and rules for running capacity auctions and issuing capacity agreements to successful bidders.
