2. What has happened so far?
Ofgem open letter on Congestion Management Procedures (CMP) implementation.
Included question on impact of change in the Gas Day.
Individual TSO process on CMP implementation:
NGG consults on Bacton/Moffatt - Ofgem approval
IUK consulting (published 30 April) on its I/C – Ofgem/CREG approval
BBL consults on its I/C- Ofgem/ACM approval
Ireland still under discussion

3. Summary of responses on change to Gas Day
Very consistent tone of responses (non-confidential will be made available on Ofgem website).
Avoid underestimating the scale of the task.
Preference for early consultation on how it will be implemented and coordinated approach.
Preference for early decision on a fixed implementation date.
Recognition that change will be felt from offshore to customer meter, with not all parties under Ofgem jurisdiction.

4. CAM Requirements Implementation 1 November 2015
Capacity to be auctioned as bundled, standard products
Applies to interconnector points (Bacton & Moffat) – may also apply to entry and exit points to and from third countries (subject to relevant NRA decision)
Applies to capacity that is available to be sold & contracted capacity once it becomes available, e.g.
BBL – capacity that is currently unsold & any that becomes available through Oversubscription or Surrender (CMP), further capacity from 2016
IUK – Oversubscription or Surrender, all capacity from 2018
& to relevant capacity at Bacton & in Belgium & Netherlands
So stepwise approach to implementation
Implementation needs to meet obligations of CAM
There are options for implementation

5. Key Issues to be considered
GB issues
Shared issues
Capacity identification e.g. how to calculate capacity at Bacton?
How to bundle capacity?
Should changes apply to all entry/exit points in GB or just interconnection points?
What booking platform to use (PRISMA ) & how this should be governed?
How do we go about changing the gas day?
Interaction between capacity/ allocation & nominations (within-day)?
Ensuring standardised capacity products are sold
TSO cooperation
Package approach at cross-border points - look at CAM, nominations in balancing, charging etc
