Grid Code (GC) GC0154: incorporation of interconnector ramping requirements into the Grid Code as per System Operator Guidelines Article 119
Summary
Ofgem approved a Grid Code modification requiring interconnectors to meet standardised ramping requirements under EU System Operator Guidelines Article 119. The decision implements the Workgroup alternative rather than the original proposal. This codifies technical requirements that interconnectors must already meet under retained EU law.
Why it matters
The change is administrative — it moves existing technical obligations from EU regulation into domestic Grid Code without altering interconnector operation or market access. As such, it represents regulatory housekeeping rather than market reform.
