0886V: Amend the Code Cut-Off Date to a Rolling Period

Summary

UNC modification 0886V amends the Code Cut-Off Date from a fixed annual date to a rolling period mechanism for gas network code changes. The modification has been implemented following Authority direction. This affects Independent Gas Transporters (IGTs) alongside the main gas distribution networks.

Why it matters

This is administrative process improvement that reduces regulatory friction by allowing code changes to progress continuously rather than waiting for annual cut-off periods. As such, it favours market participants who need responsive regulatory processes over those who benefit from predictable annual cycles.
