For example, a DNSP must report maximum demand information for all of the zone substations in its network for a given regulatory year. If one of those zone substations is de-commissioned the following year, the DNSP no longer has to report maximum demand for that zone substation. Where load for that substation is transferred to other zone substations, it would result in new normal system conditions for the receiving zone substations. We have added the following instruction to clarify this position: TNSP/DNSP must insert rows into the tables for each component of its network belonging to that segment. TNSP/DNSP must note instances where it de-commissions components of its network belonging to that segment in the basis of preparation. 4.3 (TNSP) MD – spatial – other Powerlink stated each emerging network limitation has its own unique spatial definition As discussed previously, the final RINs for TNSPs now require TNSPs spatial levels and it is not possible to provide this information in a way that would meet the requirements to provide spatial maximum demand information only for transmission of the draft RIN (appendix, p. 3). connection points. We recognise each emerging network limitation has its own unique spatial definition because of network configuration. We consider such information is relevant when assessing particular sections of the network in more detail, such as when assessing forecast expenditure for specific areas of the network. We consider such assessments are more appropriate during a regulatory determination. 5.4 (DNSP) MD – spatial – no SAPN stated for substations which do not have SCADA, actual demand values are not NSPs are required to input estimates of maximum demand information
