Variation of Charges Notice Periods Embedded Networks
DCP236 - Variation of Charges Notice Periods Embedded Networks||The approval of DCP178 introduces into Clause 19.1 notice periods for the variation of Charges which are fixed and specific for DNO Parties and IDNO Parties. However, a DNO which operates 'out of area' embedded distribution networks cannot comply with the specified periods as, to operate under Portfolio Billing, it requires to obtain and process the relevant 'host' distributor charges before it can set embedded network charges. This CP therefore seeks to amend Clause 19.1 to separately specify notice periods applicable to DNOs in relation to Distribution Services Area charges and 'out of area' embedded network charges. The notice periods for such DNO embedded networks proposed by this CP are identical to the periods applicable to IDNO charges approved under DCP178.||
