  2. 5 Principles • Competition • Enhanced Balancing Services procurement in respective control areas • Transparency and non-discriminatory access • Inherently transparent arrangements with no impact on TPA • Preserving security of supply • Must not endanger system security in the local area • Inter-TSO Emergency arrangements remain • Compatibility and reciprocity • Reciprocal arrangements between GB and French markets • No Interconnector Capacity Reservation • Unutilised IFA capability identified post gate-closure

Offered prices based on those in the deliverer’s domestic BM. User capacity rights and volumes unaffected as per the previous slide with SO-SO balancing services superimposed over User’s volumes. etc UIoSI rule implemented for unused LT capacity See next slide D D-1 Y-1/M-1 (Day Ahead Nomination) Secondary Mechanisms Re-Alloc’n/Assign’t 01:00 XX:00 Start 07:45 23:00 IFA Contract Day 23:00 UIoLI rule implemented for unused LT+DA capacity 06:00 LT Transfer Nomination * 12 Intraday Gates illustrated All times approximate GMT

  4. Timing Illustration 08:00 06:00 07:00 04:00 05:00 Interconnector Intraday gate closure Formulation of balancing servicesoffers Publication of prices Period of activation Delivery period BM Services can only utilise unused and available interconnector capability following each intraday gate closure. TPA capacity allocation mechanisms in all timescales not impacted by balancing service actions.

  5. Pre Gate Closure: • Normal TPA access arrangements • TSOs may NOT reserve IFA capacity • TSOs calculate and exchange inter-TSO balancing bids/offers (interim solution) • TSO bids/offers are published (interim solution) • At Gate Closure: • Market participants submit final notifications, nominations and BM bids/offers • Participants may no longer trade over the IFA • TSOs calculate residual IFA capability • Post Gate Closure: • TSOs calculate and exchange inter-TSO balancing bids/offers • TSO bids/offers are published • TSOs notify bid/offer acceptances • Delivery of accepted volumes • Details of TSO transactions are published Activities

  6. Pricing and Volume Principles • Prices submitted close to GB Gate Closure • Prices Curve • Different prices for different tranches of volume • Prices will be cost-reflective and will reflect forecast conditions in real time • Market Imbalance (NIV) • Bid and Offer prices available in BM • Transmission constraints • NGET will NOT sterilise reserve in GB • NGET will take on a limited degree of pricing risk • Volume will initially be limited to 500MW • To be reviewed after a suitable period of operation (initially proposed as 1 year)

  7. Implementation Timetable (Interim)

  8. Implementation Timetable (Enduring)

  9. Interim (Hybrid) Solution • Manual work-around based on current BASA • Significantly increased functionality • TSOs exchange 6 prices at day-ahead stage • Price windows correspond to current intra-day gate closure in French market (subject to availability of IFA capacity) • National Grid will have ability to re-submit prices intra-day • Price exchange and acceptance based on present arrangements • Implementation targeted for August 2008

  10. Summary – Enduring Solution • “Real Time” Balancing, after IC Gate Closure • Hourly prices, set 1-hour before delivery • Price Curve – prices in 100 MW tranches • Prices influenced by anticipated real time energy and transmission issues • Volume - initially maintain current 500 MW cap • Implementation targeted for July 2009
