What is the CUSC amendment process?

Proposals to amend the CUSC are submitted to the Panel Secretary to be considered by the CUSC Amendments Panel who determine the processes and timescales to apply. The Panel decides whether a Working Group should be set up to consider the Amendment Proposal or whether it should be sent straight out to wider industry consultation.

If an Amendment Proposal has been sent to a Working Group for consideration, it will only proceed to the wider consultation phase if the Panel are satisfied that the terms of reference they set for the Working Group have been answered.

National Grid are responsible for the preparation of a consultation paper, upon which industry members are invited to submit their views, representations and objections.

Upon completion of the consultation, an Amendment Report is prepared by National Grid and furnished to the Authority for their decision. The Amendment Report is also copied to relevant parties and published on the National Grid CUSC Website.
