Summary | This Distribution Code
public consultation is seeking the views from industry stakeholders on the
proposed modification to Engineering Recommendation (EREC) P18. Additionally,
the consultation seeks to understand stakeholders views on the future development
requirements of EREC P18. Guidance on the Complexity
of 132kV circuits previously provided in ER P18 Issue 1 (1978), would, if
approved, be superseded by the modified EREC P18 Issue 2 (2019). The limits and
technical requirements in this EREC have been reviewed and have not materially
changed during the revision. The recommended revision of
EREC P18 was a cosmetic revision to align with the latest ENA Engineering
Document template and was aimed at providing clarification of definitions and
the interpretation of certain requirements in the EREC. EREC P18 is an Annex 2
qualifying standard to the GB Distribution Code[1] and governed by the Distribution
Code Review Panel (DCRP). The DCRP establish and maintain governance
arrangements for Qualifying Standards that have a material effect on Users of
the Distribution System. Annex 2 Qualifying Standards, such as EREC P18, can be
approved by the DCRP where unanimity is reached by the DCRP; however subject to
the materiality of the changes agreed by Distribution Code Stakeholders, EREC
P18 may be submitted to Ofgem for approval. Further revision of EREC P18 is planned by the DCRP in line with the draft Terms of Reference attached with this consultation. Such changes are expected to be material in nature and are expected to be delivered through a DCRP Working Group. |
Next Steps | Responses to this consultation should be sent to the Distribution Code Review Panel Secretary at dcode@energynetworks.org by 17:00 on 09 July 2019. |
