In answering this Q&A, Research has been limited to cover the Capacity Market Rules 2014 (CM Rules) (including amendments effective as at today’s date) and the provisions of the electricity and any relevant provisions of the Electricity Capacity Regulations 2014 (as amended) (CM Regulations). See here for the CM Rules: Capacity Market Rules and here for the CM Regulations: Electricity Capacity Regulations 2014, SI 2014/2043. We have also reviewed the National Grid (NG) Capacity Market Auction User Guides, Auction Guidelines, and Capacity Auction Bidding Company and Authorised Individual Management Guidelines (all available through the NG EMR Delivery Body webpage), in respect of recent auctions, along with current and historic Capacity Market ‘FAQ’ documents issued by government (August/December 2014 and November 2016).
