Future Arrangements for System Services – System Services Charge
The SEM Committee today, 13th March, publishes its decision on the System Services Charge. This decision is made in the context of the recommendations of the TSOs following a public consultation. The TSOs recommendations paper is published alongside this paper.
The SEM Committee has decided to introduce a new System Services charge which will recover the forecast costs associated with the Day Ahead System Services Auction (DASSA), plus any costs to be paid out through Layered Procured Framework contracts and the Fixed Contracts Framework. The annual charge rate will be set by reference to a forecast to be submitted ahead of the relevant year by the TSOs. There will be a k factor mechanisms to correct for differences between the forecast and actual outturn, and an annual adjustment mechanism is also to be included in the design.
