These are the values submitted by NESO  to the interconnector capacity calculation processes which restrict the maximum GB import and export interconnector flows. The values are submitted in MW per hourly time period. 
>**<span style="color: rgb(176,74,42)">NOTE:</span>** Final interconnector capacity is calculated using these NESO  values, values from the connected SO and the interconnector capability. Therefore, the interconnector’s final capacity value may be lower than the NESO  values shown here. The final values can be found on each interconnector’s trading facilitator’s website. Values will only be published where a restriction has been applied by NESO . If there are no values, NESO has not applied a restriction.
