Preliminary findings of Project TransmiT technical workshop released – 11/10/2011
The ‘Project TransmiT: Electricity Transmission Charging Significant Code Review’ was provided to Ofgem on 23/9/2011. The report outlines the discussions held within the Technical Working Group. This group was tasked to develop different methods for transmission charge changes to be used by Redpoint for economic modelling under Project TransmiT.
