Gate 2 Phase 1 offer schedule

We are preparing Gate 2 Phase 1 Variation Offers in batches as we receive the information we need from the National Energy System Operator, NESO.

Each batch contains projects connected to particular Grid Supply Points, or GSPs. The schedule below shows:

  • the current position of each batch
  • the GSPs included in each batch
  • when we expect an early view of the Transmission Owner Construction Offer, or TOCO, information
  • when we expect the Application to Vary, or AtV, information from NESO
  • the week we currently expect to issue offers

These dates and batch groupings are our best current view and may change as NESO confirms further information.

Projects in the same batch may not all receive their offer on the same day. We will update this page when the schedule changes and contact customers directly when their individual offer is ready.

Please check your GSP again, even if you have viewed this page before. The cards below show the latest batch positions and expected offer dates.
