DCRP/MP/25/01: GC0176
What is being proposed
This modification has been run as a joint workgroup consisting of representatives from both Distribution Code and Grid Code. In parallel with Grid Code modification GC0176 (Introduction of Demand Control Rotation Protocol within Operating Code 6 of the Grid Code), to review if there are any changes required to the Distribution Code (DCode), particularly DOC6.
Details
Analysis
DCRP/MP/25/01 considers potential changes to Distribution Code Document 6 (DOC6) following Grid Code modification GC0176, which introduces a Demand Control Rotation Protocol. The joint workgroup reviews whether distribution code amendments are needed to align with new grid code provisions for demand control. This appears to be a procedural alignment exercise following grid code changes.
Why it matters
Administrative alignment between codes following grid operational changes. The substance lies in GC0176 itself — this is housekeeping to ensure distribution and transmission code consistency.
