TNEI attended Scottish Power’s South West Scotland and Dumfries & Galloway developer forum in June in Glasgow. National Grid was also in attendance to discuss details of the Generation Export Management (GEMS) scheme which is set to be implemented in 2022. Technical specification requirements for this scheme are still being refined and SP currently plan to start the tender process in 2019.
Wider balancing market access was also covered, which will be introduced as part of the European Electricity Balancing Guideline (EBGL) to create a pan-European balancing market. This will also open up the balancing market to embedded generation, aggregators and demand side. NGET had a discussion to gather feedback from stakeholders and discuss how it is planned to interact with the GEMS scheme.
