Close alert: Licence modifications for SQSS code maintenance: decision Publication type: Decision Publication date: 11 December 2024 Topic: Electricity transmission, National Energy System Operator (NESO) Decision for: SQSS code maintenance: Statutory consultation on proposed modifications to the electricity system operator and electricity transmission licences Print this page Share the page Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on LinkedIn On 8 October 2024, we consulted on changes to conditions A1 and E7 of the Electricity System Operator Licence and standard conditions D3 and E16 of the Electricity Transmission Licence. We proposed these changes to place duties on the National Energy System Operator to maintain the National Electricity Transmission System Security and Quality of Supply Standard (SQSS). The changes will enable the SQSS to be designated by the Secretary of State as a 'qualifying document' for the purposes of Schedule 12 of the Energy Act 2023. This would allow Ofgem to use its transitional powers under the act with respect to the SQSS to help implement energy code reform. Our decisions We have decided to go ahead with our proposals to amend conditions A1 and E7 of the Electricity System Operator Licence, as well as standard conditions D3 and E16 of the Electricity Transmission Licence. Following careful consideration of responses, we are also including minor changes to standard conditions A1 and D1 of the Electricity Transmission Licence. Next steps These licence changes will take effect after 56 days.
